    Very nice breakfast. One time the chef lady cooked extra scrambled eggs when it ran out at the end of closing time. We love the location, walked around the town. Walked down the road to take pictures of the mountains. Nice memories of it.

Property info

Mary-Ann's Polarrigg gives you the real Svalbard experience. Created in 1999 by founder Mary-Ann Dahle, the hotel was transformed from its previous life as miners barracks carefully and lovingly into what we have today. Many items throughout the hotel are from the old coal mines in the area including the red miners' bus which stands outside the bar area and serves as a smoking shelter complete with fairy lights. The hotel offers a self-catering kitchen with all the necessary equipment. Complimentary wi-fi and tea/coffee are always at your disposal. Our restaurant, Vinterhagen, is the greenest place in Svalbard, where you can relax in the warmth of our floor-heated conservatory full of natural plants and trees, whilst taking in the Arctic landscape surrounding Longyearbyen. Our specialty is Arctic food from the North of Norway such as reindeer and seal, a must-try during your trip in the far North. On occasion, we also offer a taste of cultures around the world during our 'World Kitchen' events. Finish the night with some drinks in our intimate Peisen Bar featuring a full wall mural by famous graffiti artist Guido van Helten.

Neighborhood info

Mary-Ann's Polarrigg is located in a quiet area 5 min walking distance from the city center. Eating breakfast or having dinner you can watch reindeer and polar foxes who are almost always walking around the building!
