What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A recent overhaul brought new life to its rooms, where mid-century lines meet cutting-edge materials: brass, leather, warm wood, in a look that feels both rooted and current.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The historic wooden houses of Old Town are an 800-foot walk away, and the city harbor sits just down the street.
The rooms
Mid-century silhouettes feature stitched leather and custom millwork, framed by expansive views over Lake Breiavatnet or the city skyline.
The sauna
Tiered wooden benches in the upper-level sauna look out over the city through a vertical window.
The gym
Cardio machines and stationary bikes face floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views over the city and distant fjords.
Restaurant
FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar
Tables look onto Lake Breiavatnet through wide windows. The kitchen cooks regional seafood and meats over open wood fires.
At the table
Football scarves hang from the timber ceiling in the pub, which has dark wood booths and a corner fireplace.
How it began
Municipal leaders donated the lakeside land after World War II, establishing the property to solve an acute lodging shortage.
