Hotels Own Introduction
a wooden retreat above bodø
Just seven minutes from Bodø city center, perched on the hillside of Rønvikfjellet, Wood Hotel Bodø offers more than just a place to stay—it offers the city’s finest view and a true Northern Norwegian experience. With sweeping vistas over sea, sky, and mountains, this is where nature and architecture meet in quiet harmony.
the outdoor resort
Built almost entirely from wood and rooted in the traditions of Northern Norway, Wood Hotel Bodø is a destination shaped by its surroundings. Whether under the endless light of the midnight sun or beneath the shimmering dance of the northern lights, each season brings its own magic. Here, nature is not something you visit—it’s something you live. Step outside to discover hiking trails, woodland paths, and panoramic viewpoints, all starting right at your doorstep.
food with a sense of place
Dining at Wood Hotel Bodø celebrates the region’s culinary heritage. Our menus pay tribute to traditional family recipes and time-honored techniques, reimagined with a modern bistro spirit. We work closely with local producers to bring you honest, flavorful dishes with roots in the North.
pool & wellbeing with a view
On the 8th floor, Pool & Wellbeing offers a sanctuary for body and mind. Soak in the warmth of the outdoor pool as you take in breathtaking views of Bodø, Børvasstindan, and Landegode. Let the sauna envelop you, recharge in the gym, or sip something nourishing at the wellness bar. Whether you come for solitude or good company, this is a space to unwind and reconnect.
Wood Hotel Bodø is more than a hotel—it’s a pause, a perspective, and an invitation to step fully into the natural world.
