In the heart of Bergen, a city synonymous with the melodies of Edvard Grieg, Opus XVI stands as a living tribute to the composer's legacy. Housed in a landmark 1876 bank building, this hotel is more than a beautiful conversion; it is a passion project owned and operated by Grieg's own descendants. The name itself is a direct nod to his celebrated Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, transforming a stay into an intimate connection with Norwegian cultural history.
Inside, the grandeur of the former financial institution provides a dramatic backdrop for refined, contemporary Scandinavian design. Each of the 65 bespoke rooms and suites offers a sanctuary of calm and understated luxury. The experience extends to its vibrant social spaces, from the bright, airy brasserie showcasing local Norwegian ingredients to the celebrated afternoon tea, a local favorite.
