A Hotel with history

The hotel has a long and rich history dating back to 1944 when it was used as a residence by officers from the Great Norwegian Spitsbergen Kulkompani, which worked on the excavation of coal from Svalbard. Since then, the functionaries at Funken, as the building became known, were replaced by travellers, and by 2017, Longyearbyen's most beautiful building was renovated to become Svalbard's best hotel, Funken Lodge. In February 2018 the doors will open to this state-of-the-art hotel consisting of 88 guest rooms, restaurant and bar, fitness room and wellness area with sauna.

Restoration

A lot of effort has been put into taking care of the special story of the foundations of the building, and it is well worth taking a cultural history walk through the corridors and common areas. Here you will find historical photographs, old maps and newspaper clips. The hotel's spacious guest rooms provide you with state-of-the-art comfort whilst maintaining respect for tradition and history.
