“Moxy is known for its young-at-heart spirit and Tromsø is an incredible destination for our fun-hunters to add to their bucket list, with a different stay and experience for each season,” said Sandra Schulze-Potgieter, vice president of premium and select brands, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Marriott International.

 

The property offers more than 200 guestrooms, all with a sleek, industrial aesthetic. The surrounding landscape’s breathtaking views are on display throughout the hotel, from guestrooms to the 11th-floor’s rooftop terrace to Sky Bar Moxy to the front desk. Beyond providing just great views, Sky Bar Moxy also offers welcome cocktails to each guest, social programming for both guests and locals, and a range of locally inspired libations.
