Moxy Hotels opened Moxy Tromsø, a Marriott Hotel, in the beautiful region of Northern Norway. Tromsø, Norway, is known for beautiful winter landscapes and mesmerizing Northern Light displays, with summer adventures benefitting from the midnight sun and 24-hour sunlight.

Moxy Tromsø, opened spring 2023, combines stylish, industrial design and excellent service, offering 208 nicely designed bedrooms featuring walk-in showers, 55-inch flat-screen TVs and motion-activated LED guidelights. Designed to maximize the natural beauty just outside the hotel, the newly built property takes check-in to new heights (literally), as the front desk is located on the top floor within Sky Bar Moxy, the social heart of the hotel. All guests are welcomed with a Got Moxy cocktail or mocktail at check-in.

With undisturbed views of the fjords and mountains, Danish designers at Mette Fredskild Studio drew inspiration from the locale with a palette of local traditional folk dress featuring indigo, cobalt and city blue, as well as warmer colors like purples, brown and deep red. Murals in public spaces, created by local artists Alice Kvalvik and Jonathan Broca, are a playful take on Tromsø life and the stunning beyond.

For the always-on travelers, Sky Bar Moxy embraces the playfulness of Moxy, offering a plethora of board games, a foosball table and several café tables with board games printed on to the tabletop. The 11th-floor rooftop terrace offers unobstructed views of the city and the fjord, and the indoor lounge installed a telescope for guests to spot the wildlife below and gaze at the stars in winter.

With a light bites menu and crafted cocktails, Sky Bar Moxy is a vibrant social space with bold programming for locals and guests alike to plug and play. Local brews on tap include Nordlys (“northern lights”) and Isbjørn Lite (“polar bear” gluten-free beer) from MACK. Guests can also enjoy classic Moxy cocktails such as the delicious non-alcoholic Fauxy Moxy with hints of strawberry, rose and hibiscus. The Moxy Pickups menu taps into international favorites, and a dedicated barista counter serves up a coffee fix for those that made the most of the night-long sunshine.

The hotel is the gateway to the breathtaking Arctic adventures possible in the region, from husky and reindeer visits to Sami culture experiences, whale safaris to the Northern Lights, fishing to cross-country skiing, fjord cruising to visiting Tromsø museums.
