The house
What is the history of Villa Nord?
Our story began in 1837, when Arnt and Ingeborg Flengstad opened Hôtel du Nord, the first in the city to be called a hotel. Today, we honor this legacy through sincere craftsmanship and a commitment to the genuine hospitality that changed Trondheim's social life nearly two centuries ago.
Villa Nord: why the name?
With only 51 rooms tucked away in our Trondheim town villa, the name Villa felt less like a choice and more like a homecoming. But every home needs a lineage. We looked back to the original Hôtel du Nord, choosing Nord as a quiet homage to the people and the moments that first breathed life into these walls.
When does Villa Nord open?
Villa Nord opens in January 2027.
Your stay
What kind of rooms are there in this historic building?
Within our walls, no two stays are ever quite the same. Each of our 51 guest rooms is a personal gallery, individually curated with original works and limited-edition pieces from the artists of our region. Whether you find yourself in a Standard Room or one of our expansive Suites, the experience remains tactile and grounded. From the weight of the rich textiles to the lines of our custom-crafted furniture, every detail is designed to be felt as much as seen.
Do you have accessible rooms?
The Standard Room is available as an accessible room, on request.
Which amenities will I find in my room?
We love that we are one of the first hotels in Norway to carry the high-end body care products from TUE+DAM. To give you the best possible sleep, our duvets and pillows are made from the finest muscovy down by Høie in Brekstad.
What time are check-in and check-out?
Check-in is at 16:00 and check-out at 11:00.
Can I bring my pet?
Pets are welcome in a limited number of rooms, booked as an add-on to the reservation.
Dining
Is there a restaurant at the hotel?
Our dining room is built upon a milestone in Trondheim's history. Under our predecessor Hôtel du Nord, Arnt Flengstad introduced the city's very first à la carte experience. He broke the mold, trading the predictable for the personal, and bringing a new sense of liberty to the table. Today the house holds four culinary experiences: The Breakfast, The Café, The Bistrot and Bespoke 1837.
What can I expect for breakfast?
We carry the torch of those who came before us, honoring the timeless art of the host. At Villa Nord, breakfast is a personal affair, defined by the quiet elegance of tableside service and the very best of our local produce: a curated cold table and an à la carte kitchen, served Mon-Fri 07-10 and Sat-Sun 08-11. Breakfast is part of your stay when you have a room, and everyone else is welcome too.
How do I book a table?
The Bistrot and Bespoke 1837 each take table requests on their own page: tell us the day, the hour and how many you are, and we write back with a confirmation. The Breakfast takes requests the same way from guests who are not staying with us; if you have a room, breakfast is already part of your stay.
The neighbourhood
What is there to see and do near the hotel?
Set within the storied neo-gothic townhouses of Dronningens gate, our home sits at the intersection of Trondheim's past and its pulse. We are just a short, thoughtful walk from the spires of Nidarosdomen and the city's most spirited cultural corners. Your stay with us extends far beyond our front door. Your room key is designed to be your "Key to the City", a personal invitation to explore hand-picked museums and tucked-away art experiences that we, as locals, hold dear.
