Grand Terminus Hotel



Cobblestone
streets
lead
up
to
the
doors
of
this
hotel
built
in
1928.









Dark
beams,
anique
furniture
and
oriental
rugs
decorate
its
sitting
room






where
we
six
ladies
posed
for
our
first
tour
portrait.




The
breakfast
room
boasts

mirrored
French
doors,

gold-
trim
wall
edging

and...







a

complex

crystal

chandelier.







An
antique
chair
sports
arm rests
of wood
carved
into
dog heads
and sits
just outside
the library





where we
sent emails home
to our families
after
having feasted
for breakfast
in the dining room
at our
Grand
Terminus
Hotel.



This hotel is great for those with a passion for the past. We found the staff extremely helpful in accommodating our needs for luggage storage while we perused the town and also in contacting a taxi to drive us to the Hurtigruten pier.
