Britannia Hotel has been named Norway’s Best Hotel at the Grand Travel Awards 2026, one of the Norwegian travel industry’s most prestigious distinctions.
“To be recognised as Norway’s best hotel by our industry peers is a tremendous honour. Above all, this award is a tribute to the people who deliver exceptional hospitality and world-class service at Britannia every single day,” says Hotel Manager Arild Sjødin.

One of the Travel Industry’s Most Prestigious Awards
Each year, the Grand Travel Awards bring together leading voices from across the travel and hospitality industry to recognise hotels, destinations and guest experiences that continue to set the standard within the sector.
Based on votes cast by industry professionals themselves, the awards are widely regarded as one of the Norwegian travel industry’s most respected distinctions.

Five-Star Luxury in the Heart of Trondheim
Since reopening in 2019, Britannia Hotel has established itself among the Nordic region’s leading luxury hotels, renowned for its historic setting, refined hospitality and world-class culinary experiences, including the Michelin-starred restaurant Speilsalen, Britannia Spa and the celebrated breakfast served in Palmehaven.
Today, the hotel welcomes both Norwegian and international guests seeking a distinguished five-star hotel experience in Trondheim.
There are hotel stays remembered for the room alone, and then there are experiences that linger long after departure. At Britannia, the experience begins the moment guests step through the doors, shaped by attentive hospitality, thoughtful details and people who make the exceptional feel effortless. These are the moments guests return for, time and time again.
Britannia is proud to be a member of Leading Hotels of the World, the prestigious collection of independent luxury hotels where heritage, craftsmanship and personalised hospitality define the guest experience.
The People Behind the Experience
At Britannia Hotel, five-star service is found in the details, in the thoughtful gestures made before a guest even needs to ask, and in the people whose expertise, professionalism and pride shape every part of the stay.
The award reflects a long-term commitment to craftsmanship, hospitality and a seamless guest experience throughout the hotel.
