An arctic oasis


We look forward to welcoming you to Funken Lodge, and are certain you will quickly see why this has become many travellers’ favourite hotel on Svalbard.

The cosy atmosphere provides a tranquil base to relax in after an eventful day outdoors. You can find a snug spot in front of the fire, and gain new inspiration from the library filled with Polar literature. Or perhaps a cocktail from Funken Bar will give you a chance to reflect on polar adventures and expeditions? All of the rooms are handsomely furnished, and our friendly staff will ensure a perfect stay.

If walls could talk, then this hotel would be full of tales of celebrations from the mining era’s heyday, of Champagne tasting in "Gamle Nordpolet" and intriguing conversations held in the comfortable seats near the fire. The hotel has housed royals and heads of state, and has kept its classic renommé from its time as staff accommodation.

New stories are ready to be told within the walls of the hotel - welcome to Funken Lodge!
