Det Hanseatiske Hotel

Det Hanseatiske Hotel occupies the historic Finnegaarden Trading House inside Bergen's UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf — possibly the most atmospheric address for a hotel sauna anywhere in Norway. The 4-star property has just 37 rooms, which gives the sauna, gym, and beauty centre a private club feel that larger hotels can't match. The sauna at Det Hanseatiske Hotel is tucked inside a 400-year-old stone cellar alongside the Altona-style wine bar, making the wellness experience feel as much like a time-travel excursion as a modern spa visit. Free WiFi, sauna, gym, and access to three on-site restaurants including Scandinavian cuisine — everything is within a few steps of your room inside the old trading house. Det Hanseatiske Hotel is the Bergen choice for travelers who want their sauna wrapped in real Hanseatic history. You'll be sweating inside a UNESCO World Heritage building.
