Villa Terminus

Located in a historic villa in central Bergen, this discreet address is perfect for low-key travelers looking for a charming, design-minded boutique hotel.

• The quiet atmosphere and feeling that you’re staying in a cozy villa
• The beautiful public spaces, which feature antiques and mid-century furnishings
• The Aesop bath products

A tranquil hideaway just a few blocks from Bergen’s train station, this boutique hotel is located in a renovated, protected villa that dates back to 1770. In 2017, it was renovated into a boutique hotel by the owners of the Grand Terminus, located next door.

Now outfitted with 18 rooms, Villa Terminus is a serene address for travelers looking for a more local experience while staying in Bergen. Here, the hallways are painted a beautiful dark grey and illuminated by delicate lighting fixtures and rooms, each named after a Norwegian author, are minimalist in style with colorful knit blankets on the bed and compact but sleek bathrooms featuring heated floors and Aesop bath products. Some of the rooms have slanted ceilings with exposed beams and one boasts a bathtub in addition to a shower.

The public spaces at Villa Terminus are as cozy as the rest of the hotel, and the second-floor library is a particularly lovely place to relax with one of the Norwegian novels that line the bookshelves. The kitchen (where breakfast is served) and dining room feature a mix of mid-century furniture and Scandinavian antiques, and both are idyllic spots to start your day.

Indagare Tip: Villa Terminus can be booked in its entirety; the villa can sleep 40 people and can be staffed with a private chef so that guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner on property.

Low-key couples who want a charming boutique hotel and don’t mind a lack of amenities.
