Rooms built into the second and third floors of a former carpentry and cod liver oil factory in Henningsvær, above a café, restaurant, bar and sauna that the village uses as much as the guests do.

Boutique hotel in Henningsvær

The building came first. A carpentry and cod liver oil works in Henningsvær, it was turned in 2014 into a place with a kitchen, a bar, a sauna and a programme of concerts and yoga, and the guest rooms were fitted into the upper two floors afterwards. Reused brick, ash floors and the original industrial windows were kept.

Rooms range from a 13 m² double with a mountain view to a 40 m² loft sleeping four; some are named with a private bathroom and some are not, so the bathroom arrangement is worth checking against the room you pick. The largest bedroom on the listing takes six.

The sauna outside faces the sea, and hotel guests get half off: the staff quoted 125 NOK per person. Breakfast is cooked in the kitchen, with buffet, menu and vegetarian options. Ski gear can be hired.

The listing's own fine print warns that the building hosts functions and that some rooms may catch the noise — the price of sleeping above the village's meeting place.

Why stay here
