The hotel's new wing, however, brings you back to the modern age. Running a hotel is a matter of continuous improvement and adaptation to contemporary demands. The new rooms have all the modern facilities and comfort, and the interior has been designed by the young Bergen architect Aud Hunsk r. She has won several prizes, including the Norwegian Design diploma in 1993. Special doors with intarsia work are the first things you see, while both rooms and bathrooms show that the interior architect has concerned herself with both the practical and aesthetic aspects.
Art makes for atmosphere.
Health, safety and working environment are vital for both guests and employees. The Norwegian Technological Institute has helped the hotel undertake an environmental audit, an important tool for the choice of environmental alternatives wherever they exist. We want to be a greener company and have this strategy realized in all the decisions large and small that our staff take every day. Safety for guests and employees is the first priority. The hotel has therefore recently invested in the latest fire-alarm technology, directly connected to the main fire station, a mere three minutes away.
