Where to stay
True boutique hotels are rare in the city, so choose by character. Aera has glass-roofed cabins with sea views near Kvaløya, set for watching the lights. Scandic Ishavshotel is the best-known waterfront option, with 214 rooms and panoramic views, though larger than a typical boutique stay. Moxy Tromsø is a newer property with industrial design and fjord views, and apartment hotels like Tromsø City Apartments add kitchens.
