Classical, elegant architecture characterises both the hotel’s interior and the exterior. The hotel has won awards for its excellent design, and in 1995 it became the first hotel in the country to be proposed as a listed building. Its location near three multi-storey car parks with a total of 2,500 spaces, the railway station, airport bus, the bus station, the planned Bergen Light Rail and the Grieg Hall means that the hotel is very accessible, and it is a mere five minutes’ walk to Torgalmenningen Square.

Restaurants nearby
You find everything you need under one roof when visiting Grand Hotel Terminus. The hotel has its own unique Brasserie, and a whisky bar with a tasty and reasonably priced menu. If you still want to hit the town to try something different, we can recommend two restaurants in the vicinity: Bølgen and Moi Lysverket have great locations by Byparken Park and the museum quarter, with galleries showing, among other things, some of Munch's finest works. In the charming pedestrian street "Marken", about 100 meters from the hotel, you'll find the Vietnamese restaurant "Bambus", which is known for it's outstanding food, according to newspaper reviews. We also recommend Altona Wine Bar and restaurant at our sister hotel Augustin, which is the only holder of the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in Bergen. We also have free tickets to night clubs and we can find other good restaurants for you, if you wish.
Shopping without the rain
You can walk straight across the street and across a covered walkway, right into the biggest shopping mall in Bergen town centre.
- Very practical if you have some Christmas shipping to do and the weather isn't cooperating, and efficient if you only have an hour break from a conference at Grand Hotel Terminus.
Pedestrian street Marken
The real shopping experience starts in the pedestrian area called Marken, that can be found 100 meters from the hotel entrance. Stroll through historical streets with small wooden houses, typical for picturesque Bergen. Here you find a vast selection of small shops, offering high quality. Marken leads up to Torgalmenning, the heart of Bergen, where you find anything your heart desires in a relatively compact area.
Museum square, the town park with Lungegårsdvann pond and Bølgen og Moi
On the walk back to the hotel, take the route through Byparken, the central park. Here you can walk along the museum square with Bergen Art Hall, The Stenersen Collection and Rasmus Meyers Collections. Here you'll find some of Munch's finest works. Drop by Bølgen og Mois Bar and Brasserie in Bergen Art Museum, that have tables with views of the pond and pleasant outdoor dining on nice days.
