Clarion Bryggen is located in the city center of Tromso. Built in 2001, the Clarion Bryggen Hotel is the newest large-scale hotel in Tromso, with a harbor-front position. The hotel has a contemporary-style lobby, wide upstairs hallways, and big-windowed bedrooms that are comfortably laid out, usually with a writing table. One of the favored spots here is the outdoor hot tub on the rooftop terrace near the hotel's sauna. As icy rain falls, hot-tubbers soak up the heat while admiring panoramas over the frigid waters of Tromso's harbor.
