The Dock is the night with a view. There are igloos on the roof, the Lookout Bar on the 12th floor, a sauna and a rooftop running track, on the shipyard that fitted out Amundsen’s Gjøa.
It’s the farthest of the centre hotels from Prostneset, about 500 m in a straight line by our map and 0.9 km by Scandic’s own count.
