Hotel Brosundet

Ålesund, Norway

Hotel Brosundet

Jump to:

Situated in the heart of town, Hotel Brosundet is a family-owned boutique property with an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. Like many of the buildings in Ålesund, the hotel was built in 1918 and was once used as a warehouse where cod was dried and salted. The 131 rooms contain many of the building’s original features, lending the hotel a rustic-chic style. The rooms vary in shape and size, but all share a Scandinavian minimalist decor with a grey and white palette accented by light wood.

You can visit Butikken, a café on the hotel’s front corner, for your morning coffee or freshly baked goods. For lunch and dinner, Restaurant Apotekergata No. 5 serves a rotating menu that features locally grown ingredients. The adjacent Arkivet Bar is popular with locals and hotel guests alike and serves a large selection of wine, beer, champagne, and cocktails.

OUR OPINION:

We love how intimate and home-like Hotel Brosundet feels, despite the large number of rooms. Little things, like the fireplace and local artwork on the walls, create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Rooms

The rooms, like the rest of the hotel, combine the rustic character of the original warehouse with a sleek, Scandinavian minimalism. You’ll find rough wooden beams and minimalist furniture in shades of cool-grey and white, all accented with plenty of gleaming finished pine.

You can choose from a wide range of room types, many of which offer water views. Or, opt for a suite in the nearby Molja Lighthouse. All the rooms have en suite bathrooms and Wi-Fi.

Location

The hotel is located in the heart of Ålesund on the shores of Brosundet, and many rooms overlook the port. You’re just a short walk to major sights like the Sunnmøre Museum, the Aalesunds Museum, and Ålesund Church, as well as the Jugendstilsenteret Art Nouveau Center.
