Villa Havblikk

Villa Havblikk in Tromsø is a classic Norwegian wooden villa from 1917 that welcomes guests from all over the world – year-round. The hotel is also a popular gathering place for locals from Tromsø. Just 200 meters from the Arctic Cathedral and 700 meters from the Fjellheisen cable car, the villa offers both comfort and views over the Tromsø Sound – with hosts who preserve its history and soul, while operating as resource-efficiently as possible. 

Boutique hotel with soul


Villa Havblikk cultivates an authentic atmosphere throughout. The rooms and suites are spread across two buildings: the southern building houses four double rooms, two family rooms, and one suite, while the northern building contains two double rooms and twelve single rooms – each with its own unique character.
In the common areas, restaurant, and event spaces, great emphasis has been placed on details – from furniture to colors and materials – all carefully chosen to preserve the villa’s traditional character.

A local vibe

Villa Havblikk is not just for travelers. Local guests often stop by to enjoy the food in the restaurant or take part in social events. When parts of the guest journey run automatically, the hosts have more time to focus on what truly matters – hospitality, upselling, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for the local community.

Soul and automation – hand in hand

Villa Havblikk shows that modern technology and traditional atmosphere can go perfectly together. They have installed digital locks from Salto Låsesystemer, carefully selected in a gold finish to complement the interior. To ensure optimal comfort, the heaters from Raychem and Mill are controlled through the same integrated system.

“Yes, we have an authentic traditional concept – but that doesn’t mean we don’t think about resource savings where we can.”

Tradition and digitalization – one does not exclude the other

Guests want both authentic surroundings and modern solutions. With the Invite InStay guest portal, they have access to everything they need – from practical hotel information to activity options in Tromsø – directly on their mobile.

Invite modules in use at Villa Havblikk

Villa Havblikk uses the Invite InStay guest portal, access control, and temperature management. Guests receive a welcome message before arrival, with a link to the portal where they can find information about their stay – as well as access codes for the main entrance and room door. Through Invite temperature control, host Olufsen can adjust the heating throughout the building from one system, without having to visit each room after check-out. The automation in Invite ensures efficient operations and reduced energy consumption – completely seamlessly.
