Augustin (3*)

Augustin Hotel (3*) has a central location by the harbour and the shopping area. The hotel is a good base for a walk around the old town at Nordnes and down towards the concert-and dance stage at the USF Warf. At Nordnes you will find the Aquarium and the beautiful Nordnes Park with views of the fjord. Augustin is now the oldest family-run full-service hotel in Bergen. The hotel, built in 1909 in Jugend style, passed into the hands of the present family ten years later, and is now run by the fourth generation. Its 1999 extension increased the capacity 109 room and a new bar in 400 year-old cellar. The Brasserie No22 has a modern rustic interior but there is nothing rustic about the food it serves – neither its light meals nor its tempting main dishes. Guests can enjoy both a pleasant "old-fashioned" lounge and modern, award-winning interiors. Its highly conscious use of colours and fittings helps make the Augustin a hotel out of the ordinary.
