This glittering extravaganza on the see-and-be-seen circuit is Trondheim's largest and best hotel. It lacks the tradition of the Britannia but outdistances the Clarions for pure luxury and amenities. This is the most architecturally dramatic and innovative hotel in Trondheim. Originally built in 1984 to replace a row of waterfront warehouses that had burned down in a fire, it rises on stilts -- a glowing, glass-sided jewel-box -- abruptly above the Nid River, so close to the water that you can catch salmon from your balcony if you're so inclined. Inside is an intriguing array of angled glass skylights, stone floors, soaring atriums, and plants. Rooms are comfortable and tastefully contemporary, outfitted in pale tones of gray, earth tones, and/or blue. The most elegant of the hotel's restaurants, the Prins Olavs Grill, is recommended separately.
