Where to stay in Narvik for an upscale fjord or mountain trip

Top Areas for Upscale Stays in Narvik
Upscale stays in Narvik emphasize dramatic fjord scenery and Nordic design rather than large international luxury hotels. Two distinct areas best suit high-end travelers.
Narvikfjellet Slopes
Set on the mountain above town, this area suits travelers seeking scenic chalets, modern lodges, and suites overlooking Ofotfjorden. It offers prime vantage points for the northern lights away from city lights, as well as direct ski access. Reaching town requires a car, taxi, or the cable car.
Central Narvik and the Waterfront
The town center suits those prioritizing walkable access to restaurants, the Narvik War Museum, and the railway station. Premium rooms typically occupy top floors with harbour views. The airport coach from Harstad/Narvik Airport (EVE) stops centrally, simplifying transit for guests without private cars.
Key Factors to Verify Before Booking
- Viewlines: Request fjord-facing rooms with clear sightlines for the midnight sun or winter auroras.
- Airport transit: Harstad/Narvik Airport (EVE) sits an hour away by road. Check coach timetables or arrange private transfers in advance.
- Winter accessibility: Hillside properties may require four-wheel drive or luggage assistance during heavy snowfall.
Seasonality and Availability
High-end lodging in Narvik is limited in volume. The peak winter aurora and ski period (February to April) and midsummer (June to August) sell out well in advance. Off-peak months offer better availability, though some mountain services operate on seasonal schedules.
