The first international hotel has opened in the Faroe Islands

Hilton has set a new benchmark for hospitality in Tórshavn with the opening of the Hilton Garden Inn Faroe Islands—bringing international standards, refined wellness facilities, and a contemporary culinary scene to this Nordic enclave.

The Faroe Islands—an archipelago of 18 dramatic islands nestled between Iceland and Norway—are celebrated for their raw, untouched landscapes, thriving cultural scene, and a burgeoning reputation among discerning travelers seeking authentic luxury escapes.

Marking a major milestone for the region, Hilton Garden Inn Faroe Islands welcomes guests to the heart of Tórshavn. Strategically located just minutes from the iconic Svartafoss waterfall and the National Museum, the hotel provides an ideal launchpad for exploring both natural wonders and local heritage.

Comprising 130 elegantly appointed rooms—many with sweeping vistas of the surrounding hills and sea—the property offers modern comforts designed for both business and leisure guests. Amenities include ultra-fast Wi-Fi, in-room refrigerators, ergonomic workspaces, and plush bedding for an elevated stay.

Culinary excellence is a focal point, highlighted by Hallartún, a French-inspired bistro helmed by renowned chef Jakup Sumberg. Drawing on his expertise from acclaimed establishments across Scandinavia, Sumberg crafts seasonal menus that showcase the finest Faroese ingredients, with a particular emphasis on locally sourced seafood and meats.

Hallartún’s floor-to-ceiling windows frame captivating views, while the menu celebrates the region’s bounty—offering a sophisticated yet approachable dining experience that appeals to both hotel guests and locals alike.

For added convenience, The Shop operates around the clock, providing travelers with a curated selection of Faroese snacks, beverages, and gourmet ready-to-heat meals—perfect for guests with busy schedules or those craving a taste of the islands at any hour.

Setting a new standard for wellness in the Faroe Islands, the hotel features one of the area’s first comprehensive health centres. Facilities include a Finnish sauna, an outdoor jacuzzi with panoramic views, and a fully equipped 24-hour fitness studio. Business travelers benefit from five versatile meeting spaces, accommodating up to 250 delegates—making the property a premier destination for both corporate and private events.
