Historic and traditional resort featuring authentic boathouses, suites, gourmet dining, and a dockside bar

Overview

Anker Brygge is a full-service Rorbu hotel nestled on the picturesque island of Lamholmen in Svolvær Harbor. The hotel, originally a fish factory dating back to 1880, has been renovated while maintaining its historic charm. Its location, in the center of Lofoten's capital, puts you within a 7-minute walk from the town square and other attractions.

The hotel features 27 exclusive self-contained boathouses and suites, all built in the traditional style. Each room offers a homey lounge, a fully equipped kitchen, and two en-suite bedrooms with private bathrooms. An additional feature of the accommodations is a private quayside terrace, perfect for savoring your morning coffee while taking in the views of mountains and sea.

Indulge in traditional dishes from the north of Norway at the resort's gourmet restaurant, Kjøkkenet. The decor and furnishings of the restaurant, reminiscent of a room built by local carpenters over a century ago, create an inviting and homey space. Anker Brygge also houses the town's most popular dockside bar and an alfresco dining area. The hotel also offers various recreational activities, too, including a nightclub, a sauna, and karaoke.

It was so cool to stay in a traditional Norwegian fisherman’s cottage! Having space to spread out and a separate bedroom were very much appreciated!

Authenticity & Character
Staying in this hotel was so far removed from your "normal" hotel. Individual apartments with separate bedroom, living room and kitchen was perfect for this location! The fact that these used to be traditional Norwegian fisherman’s cottages, made it feel even more special as you could experience a small part of a past culture.
Location
Location was in the middle of Svolvær on an island accessible by a one lane bridge. Parking was provided and was free!!
Staff
The office staff were helpful in answering our many questions about the area, and firing up the sauna for us!
Cleanliness & Comfort
The rooms were clean and in general, the bed and sitting area was pretty good, though the mattress could have been a bit firmer. One complaint I had was the window coverings were not light blocking, so the room never got very dark. Sleep mask to the rescue...

The cabin on the water was wonderful. Spacious and peaceful, with incredible views across the water. Our experience was quiet, liked being away from, but able to easily walk to the restaurants and shops. Would definitely recommend and return. Read more
