FUNKEN LODGE

Join the brand new Funken Lodge, reopened in February 2018, and get acquainted with the hotel's fascinating history. After an eventful day outdoors, our guests can enjoy the fireplace and a large selection of books in the cozy and calming atmosphere of the hotel´s lobby. Funken Lodge combines Arctic luxury and adventure, and is a home away from home. Welcome!
If the walls could speak, they would probably tell you about countless parties and deep conversations they’ve witnessed. The hotel has undergone a major renovation, and new stories are ready to be told. We offer one of Northern Europe's most impressive wine cellars, hosting some hidden gems for the fine palate.

A HISTORICAL HOTEL

The hotel was originally built as an accommodation and dining area for employees of Store Norske Spitsbergen Coal Company. It was also the company’s official representational building. Its interior and architecture made it Longyearbyen’s grandest construction. The hotel is preserved and decorated using its history. It's well worth walking through the corridors and public areas to look at the historical photographs, old maps and newspaper stories.
The hotel has 88 rooms, including 59 double rooms, 10 twin rooms, 14 single rooms, 4 suites and a handicapp room.

FUNKTIONÆRMESSEN RESTAURANT

On the second floor of Funken Lodge you will find Funktionærmessen Restaurant. Inspired by international cuisine, the restaurant only uses the best ingredients and offers a dining experience like no other in Longyearbyen.
King crab from Finnmark, dry-aged meat and reindeer from the neighborhood are some of the culinary delights. The grill is a key element in the preparation of the dishes, and after tasting the food you will think the chefs have been practicing a little bit of magic in the kitchen. Combined with the stunning panoramic views of the city, the Longyear glacier and the Hiorth mountain, an award-winning dining experience is guaranteed.
Funktionærmessen Restaurant has a renowned history, and the place has always been associated with high quality. It was here that the mining company's functionaries had their meals, enjoying the panoramic views. The restaurant has a new menu and interior, but the history, the view and the good quality remain untouched.

LOUNGE BAR

Welcome to the hotel’s cozy lounge bar and it’s dreamy polar library. Here our guests can take a deep dive into Arctic literature and return to Nansen and Amundsen's time while enjoying a delicious signature drink. Perhaps you'll also get inspiration for your own Arctic adventure?

DET GAMLE NORDPOLET

The Old Wine Monopoly from 1954 has been refurbished, and we now offer unique wine and champagne tastings. In this room, where miners and officials picked up their monthly quota of alcohol, our guests can get a private tasting of our exclusive Champagne selection. Our champagne menu is extensive and includes a wide number of producers and distinctive labels.
