Polfareren is a boutique-hotel that lives up to Svalbard's distinctiveness and snug charm, based in the heart of Longyearbyen.
Welcome to Svalbard Hotell Polfareren, a boutique-hotel centrally located in Longyearbyen. In line with Svalbard’s distinctiveness and snug charm, the hotel boasts a rustic and informal atmosphere. We offer high-standard service and culinary experiences in the heart of town.
It was the young Norwegian explorer Eivind Astrup (1871-1895) who provided inspiration for the hotel, which was completed on the 1 st of February 2016. Key words such as rustic, timeless and robust were guiding values for the design of the hotel, in order to reflect Astrup, who is the youngest recipient of the Order of St. Olav.
Our lounge has a polar library, refreshments in the bar and a relaxing atmosphere for you to find peace and spend some time to socialize, or just reflect upon your day.
The reception is staffed around the clock to ensure our guests a memorable stay, and our staff will gladly assist you in organising your experiences of Svalbard.
We take responsibility for the environment and are proud to be part of a company that’s certified Eco-Lighthouse. Together, we take responsibility for improving our environmental performance in the areas of working environment, waste management, energy use, purchasing and transport. Svalbard Adventures, together with the rest of the tourism industry in Svalbard, has a responsibility to take care of the environment around us and this is just the beginning of the journey towards a greener future.
