Bergen Børs Hotel
Tucked into the very heart of Bergen, the Bergen Børs Hotel transforms history into contemporary luxury.
Housed within the grand neo‑Renaissance, former stock‑exchange building dating from 1862, the property was reimagined by acclaimed Swedish architects Claesson Koivisto Rune. The building’s original vaulted ceilings and arched windows have been artfully fused with a minimalist, Scandi-inspired overhaul, striking a balance between old-world elegance and clean modernity.
Each of the 127 rooms and suites reflects the hotel’s past life through pinstripe wallpapers, houndstooth fabrics, sound‑proofed windows, heated floors, and original chandeliers or stained glass in select suites. The standout is the Junior Suite, which was once the exchange manager’s office, and features rich historical details alongside modern comforts.
After a day spent exploring Bergen’s vibrant streets, visiting UNESCO World Heritage Sites, or venturing out to breathtaking fjords, grand mountain peaks, and glacier-sculpted valleys, you can return to the hotel for a refined culinary experience at the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant. Centered on hyper-local ingredients and Nordic flavors, the tasting menus are as memorable as the setting.
