Living in breathtaking nature, courses and meetings with spectacular views, food and drink with emphasis on local cuisine and last but not least nice hosts!
About us
Saltstraumen Hotel is located 35 minutes by car from Bodø city center and only a short walk from Saltstraumen – the strongest tidal current in the world.
We have 28 rooms in the hotel. The rooms are modernly furnished with an emphasis on a good night’s rest. All our rooms are located on the first floor. So it is possible to park the car directly in front of the room.
We also have 12 cabins, which were completely renovated in 2020. All cabins have two bedrooms and two bathrooms, four comfortable beds, a living room with TV and sofa, a dining table and a kitchen with the possibility to prepare dinner. Maybe you would like to try your luck at fishing and prepare a delicious fish dish afterwards?
The hotel has two meeting rooms on the top floor: “Storetoppen” and “Lilletoppen”. Both meeting rooms offer spectacular views of the Saltfjord, Saltstraumen and Børvasstindan. Both meeting rooms share a roof terrace with panoramic views – perfect for coffee breaks in the fresh air. Together they can accommodate 120 people in a parliamentary arrangement for courses and conferences and celebrations for up to 100 people.
We also have two meeting rooms on the first floor of the hotel, “Helmersen” and “Atelier”.
All our meeting rooms are equipped with projector, flip chart, air conditioning and everything else you need for a successful meeting.
Our dining room “Schjølberg” is located on the second floor of the hotel, here you will be served breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is also an ideal for events with up to 100 people.
The hotel also has a very nice wellness area with whirlpool, infrared sauna, Finnish sauna and relaxation area.
