With its high location, the hotel has great views of Longyearbyen, the Lars glacier and the Longyear glacier.

Hotel facilities

  • The hotel’s main restaurant, Funktionærmessen (or more simply shortened to Funken) has wonderful views of the town and serves a carefully selected selection of delicious a la carte dishes for its guests - King crab, dry-aged meats and local food like Svalbard reindeer are amongst the specialities.

  • Funken Bar is Longyearbyen’s only specialised cocktail bar with a wide selection of first-class spirits, vintage wines and decorative drinks.
