Overview

Scandic Ishavshotel is an award-winning waterfront hotel right on Tromsø's quayside. It's located near the Hurtigruten ferry and an 8-minute walk from the Polar Museum. You'll have the opportunity to experience the northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer. Additionally, you'll conveniently be located to enjoy activities like a whale safari or midnight concert at the Ishavskatedralen Church or participate in the Midnight Sun Marathon.

The rooms at Scandic Ishavshotel offer a stylish retreat and are fully equipped. Whether it's a Standard Room or a luxurious Master Suite with its own balcony and sea views, you'll find comfort during your stay. Each room is simple yet cozy, with some providing views of the water or picturesque buildings along the quay and others offering plenty of space for families, including options with bunk beds. Past kimkim travelers frequently mention the spotless cleanliness of the rooms and the comfort of the beds.

Start your morning with the hotel's award-winning breakfast, which offers a selection of healthy, organic options. Later, round off your day at the Roast Restaurant, where you can order fresh seafood and locally produced meat from a modern a la carte menu. If you're looking to maintain your fitness routine, the hotel has an agreement with a gym just a couple of minutes away.
