Svalbards first Spa opens the 15th of March! Welcome! ...to my somewhat different hotel in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. In the old buildings which previously were used by mine workers, I have tried to create a relaxed and cozy atmosphere. At Polarriggen we welcome guests from all over the world, all year round. Polarriggen is a great starting point for travelling around Svalbard, experiencing the Arctic or just relax from every day life. We can help you with information on what there is to do in Longyearbyen and its surroundings. We will do everything possible to make your stay on Svalbard a memorable one.
