Radisson SAS Royal Hotel

Description:

• By far the finest and most expensive hotel in the area, this glistening structure is an inviting waterfront oasis that opens onto panoramic views. The good-size guest rooms are furnished in sleek contemporary style and decorated in a number of motifs, including Japanese, Nordic, Chinese, and British. The Royal is located on the main street at the harborfront and offers some of the best drinking and dining facilities in Bodø, including the Sjøsiden Restaurant. Live music and dancing are offered every Saturday night in the Moloen Bar. But, in our view, the greatest place for a drink is the Top 13 Rooftop Bar. An original promotion for the hotel had a typo, which read that the bar "is a fantastic place to have a drunk and take in the view."
