Location
Kirkenes, Norway

Perched right on the quay in the heart of Kirkenes, the Thon Hotel offers unobstructed views of the fjord and frequent winter sightings of the aurora borealis. The central location provides easy access to everything this vibrant Arctic town has to offer. Bright, contemporary guest rooms feature streamlined modern decor with Nordic flair in a bold palette of lime green, lemon yellow and black. Beds are backdropped by fashionable floral prints on the walls and offer a comfortable night's sleep beneath a European-style duvet. White-tiled bathrooms have a shower and hair dryer, and other amenities include an LCD television, free Wi-Fi, desk, armchair, mini bar, and coffee/tea-making facilities. A fitness facility, flooded with natural light, offers a wide range of equipment available to guests at a small fee.  Seasonal meals at Restaurant 69 Nord are served in a sleek, contemporary setting and feature many local and organic ingredients—the entire Thon hotel chain is committed to purchasing only products that can be traced back to the original growers. The hotel’s dedication to sustainability is recognized through its Eco-Lighthouse certification, the first sustainable building standard to be approved through the European Commission.
