The Best Hotels in Stavanger

A converted 1930s Functionalist warehouse in central Stavanger, the Eilert Smith is a small hotel with 12 rooms that manage to feel quietly luxurious without trying too hard. Heated floors, spa bathrooms, and live plants warm up the clean Nordic lines. The building stands out against its neighbors, but what really earns the Michelin Key is RE-NAA, the three-star restaurant downstairs. Book that table before you book the room.

A turreted harbor-front hotel with chandeliers and timber floors that have survived more than a century of Stavanger reinventing itself around them. The 107 rooms are individually styled, antique accents alongside custom furnishings, and the tall windows frame either the blue waterfront or the old town streets below. Boutiques and cafés sit just outside the door, so you spend less time in transit and more time feeling like you've chosen well.

A glass tower now stitches together the wings of this landmark Stavanger hotel, which has been anchoring the city center since what feels like forever. The recent renovation leaned into mid-century bones rather than erasing them, pairing brass and warm wood with contemporary art hung alongside vintage pieces. Large windows look out over the lake and harbor, making the views part of the room rather than an afterthought.
