SVART
THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY
81
EXPERIENCE
Four restaurants will provide a variety of dining
options at Svart, from rustic, authentic fare to
gourmet tasting menus. Dishes will make use
of local, home-grown and foraged produce as
much as possible, and guests will be invited to
participate in the preparation of their gourmet
meals, from mountain-side to plate.
A 1000-square-metre, indoor-outdoor spa will
offer a variety of holistic treatments, from the
traditional and Norwegian, to the medically and
technologically cutting-edge. All Svart therapists
will use 100% sustainable, locally-sourced
products.
Guests of Svart will enjoy exhilarating arctic
experiences year-round, from ice climbing on the
glacier to practicing yoga in the midnight sun.
Svart’s two electric boats will be charged by the
surplus energy produced by the hotel, and will
provide transfers by water. Home to some of
the rarest flora and fauna species in the world,
wildlife-spotting, diving, fishing and foraging will
all be on offer.
One need not venture far to enjoy nature’s
splendour. The hotel’s wooden supporting
structure will double up as a boardwalk to be
enjoyed during Summer, also acting as a storage
space for boats and kayaks which guests can
take to the water from directly beneath their
hotel room.
The project will be overseen by Svart’s
Development Director, Ivaylo Lefterov.
The hotel’s roof will be clad with Norwegian
solar panels that were produced using clean,
hydro-energy. This will further reduce overall
carbon footprint, while energy-intensive building
materials such as structural steel and concrete
have been avoided as much as possible.
Guests and visitors will be able to discover
the science and technology behind the making
of Svart in the hotel’s very own education
centre and design laboratory. The centre will
demonstrate these processes on a smaller scale
as well as educate on waste management, glacier
protection and sustainable farming.
