Hotel Foroyar - Torshavn

4-star design hotel with grass roof and panoramic views over Tórshavn and the North Atlantic

Accommodations & Design

Hotel Føroyar was designed by Danish architects Friis & Moltke, with interior furnishings by Philippe Starck and Montana. Guest rooms feature calm colors and bright design, each overlooking Nólsoy Fjord and central Tórshavn. The hotel's natural grass roof blends into the surrounding green countryside, making the building nearly invisible from a distance.

Dining

Ruts restaurant serves Nordic-style cuisine with both Faroese specialties and international dishes. Breakfast includes a buffet with hot and cold options, fresh waffles, Danish pastries, and local items like smoked salmon and lamb sausage. The lobby's 1933 Cafe&Bar offers light meals, drinks, and desserts throughout the day.

Guests can use the fitness center with high-quality cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights. Complimentary yoga classes are offered, and the spa provides packages with access to the spa facilities.
