Opus XVI

Celebrating the life and music of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, this 19th-century heritage hotel is the epitome of modern sophistication and grand architecture. Housed in a restored historic bank building from 1876, designed originally by architect Herman Schirmer, with later extensions by Schak Bull — who was also Edvard Grieg’s cousin, beautifully designed rooms benefit from scenic views of Mount Fløyen, the bustling Fish Market, or the lively Vågsallmenningen plaza.

In the heart of Bergen's cobblestone charm, Opus XVI is a luxury resting place rich with history. Set in a former bank, the hotel pairs elegant architectural details—such as grand columns and stucco walls—with modern comforts.

The hotel’s 65 rooms and suites are uniquely designed to suit the building’s historic character, offering views of Mount Fløyen, the lively Fish Market, or Vågsallmenningen plaza. From intimate Classic Rooms to expansive suites like the Peer Gynt, every accommodation is thoughtfully appointed with amenities to ensure an enjoyable stay.

The hotel is owned and run by descendants of Edvard Grieg. Specifically, Alexander Grieg, the composer’s brother’s great‑grandson, and his wife Britt Marie, oversee the property, making the musical theme genuinely authentic and personal. Because of this connection, the hotel celebrates Grieg’s life and work throughout the building.

Dining at Opus XVI highlights the best of Bergen’s local produce. The breakfast includes artisanal bread from a nearby bakery, farm-fresh eggs, and locally sourced bacon. In the evening, guests can enjoy a gourmet menu crafted from seasonal ingredients, paired with fine wines for a memorable culinary experience.

With its prime location near Bergen’s cultural and natural landmarks, including the Fløibanen cable railway and vibrant markets, Opus XVI offers a gateway to the city. Guided by hosts Britt and Alexander Grieg, the hotel promises a stay that reflects both the charm of Bergen and the rich heritage of its most famous composer.
