Above the northern town of Tromsø, where fjords gleam and mountain peaks whisper under snow, Hotel St. Elisabeth rests in quiet grace.
St Elisabeth Hotel, Tromsø
Once a convent, once a hospital, the building still carries a reverence, for space, for healing, for light. Now reimagined with restraint and warmth, it invites you to rise gently above the harbour and enter a slower rhythm.
Rooms are sanctuaries of stillness: minimalist yet soft, dressed in muted Arctic tones, warm wood, and woven textures that cocoon rather than impress. Every window opens to the drama of the north, low light, high peaks, shifting skies.
The spa draws from Nordic ritual. Heat, cold, and rest unfold in sequence, like breath. Step into the outdoor hot tub beneath the aurora’s arc, or sink into a herbal treatment shaped by local botanicals. The luxury here is elemental, quiet, grounding, real.
At the table, the Arctic reveals its soul. Reindeer, char, and foraged greens arrive with intention, shaped by season and story. Dining is candlelit, intimate, and deeply of this place.
Step beyond the hotel and Tromsø’s quiet wonders await: the cathedral’s wooden spire, the hushed halls of Polaria, the Arctic Market with its flickers of everyday life. But here, on the hill, time softens.
Hotel St. Elisabeth asks nothing of you but presence. To listen to the hush of wind over water. To feel your own breath. To remember the rhythm of stillness.

Northern lights tour reviews
We booked with Aurora for a short winter break to celebrate an event. We wanted something special and that’s what we got. Clear information was backed up with straightforward booking detail, and we had a super, holiday with no complications.
The holiday exceeded my expectations and I will use Aurora in the future. Thank you!

My wife and I had an awesome and memorable trip to Iceland thanks to Alex at Aurora Nights. Alex tailored the itinerary to exactly what we wanted to see and chose excellent hotels to stay at. We totally enjoyed the city of Reykjavik and the many beautiful waterfalls. He went above and beyond to not only recommend sights to see around the Golden Circle and Ring Road, but also mapped it out so we were prepared to drive through the country during unpredictable weather and road conditions. And we were especially pleased to see the Northern Lights on our visit. Alex was very flexible to make changes to our plans and choosing the wonderful Sky Lagoon to replace our tickets for the Blue Lagoon due to the closure from the volcanic activity. We highly recommend Alex and Aurora Nights.

Cannot thank this company enough. Our break to Iceland was the second time we’ve let them organise everything for us and once again they didn’t disappoint. Everything ran seamlessly and the organised tours were wonderful. This company knows what they are doing. If you want to experience the geysers, the volcano, the northern lights and all the other exciting things that Iceland has to offer then this is the company to use.
