Welcome to «the Vatican»
One of Risør's oldest and most beautiful houses

Photo of the outside of the house

Buvikveien 26, locally called "the Vatican", is a listed house built in the 1700s as a holiday house to one of Risør's wealthiest businessmen.

The building was painstakingly restored by the hotel and today houses four fine suites with exquisitely charming décor and all modern amenities.

Here you can really dream of living as a Risør native during the age of sail!

Buvika is 900m away from reception, a lovely walk and there are good bikes included. There is private parking at the house.

Guests can have breakfast delivered to the suite.

suites in Storgata

A lodging since the early 1900s, today it houses two of the hotel's largest and most luxurious suites.

Photo of the outside of the house

Built in 1864 after a great fire destroyed much of the town, for many years there was a hotel/guest house on the 2nd and 3rd floors, first run by Søstrene Gislesen, and then Henny Paulsen.

Famed shipowner I.M. Skaugen also had his first shipping office here.

The entire block was completely restored by the hotel's owner and today there is an office on the first floor and two beautiful suites on the floors above.

Behind Storgata 5 there is parking, and the Consulate and the Guest House Suite by the garden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check-in/check-out
When is check-in/check-out?
Check-in is from 15.00 at our reception in Tollboden, Strandgata 10. It may be possible to check in at 14.00 if the room is ready, just check with the reception before arrival. In the summer, especially in July, check-in is generally at 16.00 - this is because it takes quite a long time to clean a suite, and our cleaning staff must have enough time if there are many new arrivals.

Check-out is at 11.00 in July, and at 12.00 the rest of the year. It is often possible to get a late check-out - again, just check with us if this is possible.
