6 Best Hotels in Sentrum, Bergen

Built in the 1920s, the elegant Hotel Bristol has an enviable location that puts you within walking distance of the city's main sights. The nicely refurbished common areas are contemporary, stylish, and colorful. On the ground floor is the Egon restaurant, a convenient spot for lunch or dinner.

If all you need is a place to crash at the end of the day, Citybox has streamlined rooms at hard-to-beat prices. Except for free Internet, don't expect any freebies here though, or staff to pamper you (reception is unstaffed after hours). Five family rooms are available, and there is a small café on-site. Some of the cheaper rooms share a bath, so if it's important to you, request an en suite bath when booking.

With a top-to-bottom face-lift, this Bergen classic is now one of the loveliest lodgings in town. Huge windows let as much natural light as possible into the smart, sophisticated rooms and also afford some eye-popping views. The former reception area has been transformed into a stylish bar and, on the weekends, a night club, so going out on the town has never been easier.

A stylish boutique lodging located in Bergen's theater district, Hotel Oleana's interior design is inspired by Ole Bull, one of the city's most famous composers and musicians. Elements of his music are found in the individually designed rooms with colorful fabrics and tasteful works of art. On the ground floor, the restaurant serves a selection of dishes inspired by Latin American food, and on Saturday you can enjoy afternoon tea. 

You notice the sophisticated Scandinavian design when you enter the inviting lobby of the stylish Hotel Zander K, located just a short walk from the main train station. The aesthetic carries through to the rooms, done in shades of blue and gray and furnished with lots of natural wood. The restaurant and bar are popular spots even for those not staying at the hotel.

Near the city's bustling main square of Torgalmenningen, this popular and stylish hotel is a stone's throw from the city's top-notch cultural attractions. The rooms are modern and comfortable, and the common areas are the perfect place to relax over a cup of coffee. There's a good fitness center available for guests, and you can borrow bikes at reception for exploring the city.
