Rica Ishavshotel
Built in 1995, this is the most dramatic-looking
hotel in the region, a conversation piece that resembles a metallic-like space-age
yacht. It's also the town's most dramatic site, at the edge of the harbor, a few
steps from the busiest quay in town. The lobby is cozy and warm, with a post-
modern edge. Lots of business travelers stay here; because of that, about half of
the rooms are designated as singles. Whether they're single or double, all rooms
have a subdued decor, with tiled bathrooms, most with a shower only, and
Nordic modern furniture. The more panoramic of the hotel's two bars is the
Skipsbroen, set on the hotel's uppermost floor.

Comfort Hotel Saga
Not as architecturally exciting as the Rica Ishavshotel,
and not as upscale or as plush as the SAS Radisson, this is a conservative, some-
what boxy and banal-looking hotel that's close to Tromsø's wood-sided cathe-
dral. It was built in 1969, and each of its rooms was renovated between 1995
and 2003. The best rooms are positioned on the uppermost (fifth) floor. Accom-
modations are warm and comfortable, each with contemporary, blond-toned
