At a glance

Eilert Smith Hotel stands inside a striking red-and-white townhouse on Nedre Strandgate in central Stavanger, directly above Vågen, the city’s inner harbor lined with wooden warehouses. It is a boutique address that trades scale for character.

The interior carries a quiet confidence throughout. Rooms are dressed in washed-out Scandi neutrals, warmed by fragrant wood paneling and considered pops of color, a style that reads as refined rather than austere.

The hotel’s small size allows for a level of service rarely found at larger properties, and its lobby bar and the two-Michelin-star RE-NAA restaurant have become fixtures for locals as much as guests. Few hotels this size manage to feel both intimate and truly luxurious, and Eilert Smith achieves both without compromise.

In detail

  • Food and Drink

    Food and Drink

    RE-NAA, the two-Michelin-star restaurant by chef Sven Erik Renaa, occupies the ground floor of Eilert Smith and draws as many Stavanger locals and Norwegian food travelers as hotel guests.

    The menu takes a precise, ingredient-led approach to modern Nordic cooking. Alongside it, the hotel’s lobby bar operates in a relaxed, design-forward space with a well-stocked cocktail list, and RE-NAA XO offers a more casual counter option.

  • Spa and Wellness

    Spa and Wellness

    Compact by design, Eilert Smith leans into comfort over grand spa facilities, with plush rooms, thoughtful lighting, and calm, uncluttered interiors doing much of the work.

    It suits guests who find relaxation in atmosphere as much as amenities, and the pace of the property reinforces that.

  • Location

    Location

    Eilert Smith stands on Nedre Strandgate directly above Vågen, Stavanger’s inner harbor lined with 18th and 19th-century wooden warehouses, in the heart of Norway’s oil capital and gateway to the western fjords.

    The colorful timber houses of Gamle Stavanger are a short walk along the water, with Stavanger Cathedral, the main dining and shopping streets, and the city’s restaurant scene all close by. Stavanger is a jumping-off point for hikes to Preikestolen and Lysefjord cruises. Stavanger Airport at Sola is around 20 minutes by car.
