Environmental Considerations

Whether you visit as a private party or a group (association, organisation, company), please let us know of any allergies and other special needs in due time before the arrival date. This ensures that we will be able to give you the best possible service. The breakfast buffet has a dedicated allergy-free section, and allergy friendly meals can be prepared on demand. We have several allergy friendly meeting rooms.

Meeting rooms

All the meeting rooms are fitted with vinyl flooring (no carpets). No fragrant plants or flowers.

Allergy friendly rooms

Non-smoking rooms (never smoked in) with windows that open. Most rooms are situated so as not be disturbed by any pets that others may bring. We have 6 rooms in a separate wing where pets are welcome. Pets are not allowed in the communal areas. The rooms have vinyl flooring and no carpets (rugs) or scatter cushions. The duvets and pillows are synthetic. We only use approved detergents.

Restaurant/bar

The breakfast buffet has a dedicated allergy-free section. Allergy adapted food can be prepared on demand (let us know in due time). The table candles are battery operated, and every allergen is properly labelled.

The restaurant is fully licensed.

Visual considerations

  • The hotel has plenty of contrast marking in many areas and tactile elevator buttons.

  • Contrast markings on the ground/floor, i.e., the indoor and outdoor area by the entrance door arch.

  • The tiles in the reception have a different colour than the rest of the floor (zone).

  • The first and final staircase steps are all clearly colour marked. Railings are painted in a contrasting colour to stand out from the wall.

  • Doors have a contrasting colour to stand out from the wall. Directional signs have a contrasting colour.

Hearing considerations

  • Induction loops are available in several areas (restaurant, meeting rooms).

  • When renovating/constructing, we apply the standards for universal design provided by The Norwegian Association of Disabled.

  • Improved acoustics with laminate flooring and standard ceiling height.

  • Voice announcer in the elevator and good signage in general.
