Velkommen til Charmante Skostredet Hôtel, et unikt boutiquehotell midt i Bergen. Bak fasaden i historiske Skostredet venter en verden inspirert av Paris og den franske elegansen fra tidlig 1900 tallet. Her er ingen rom helt like, og hver detalj er nøye valgt for å skape en hotellopplevelse med personlighet, historie og sjarm. Charmante Skostredet Hôtel Nestled amidst the historic wooden houses of Bergen's charming Skostredet district, the charming Skostredet Hôtel is a boutique hotel inspired by the elegance and joie de vivre of Paris at the beginning of the 20th century. Spanning 17 interconnected buildings, the hotel offers a stay where history, character and bold design come together. We invite our magnificent guests to explore a unique collection of charming houses and atmospheric rooms, including Brasserie Chérie, Yvette Champagne Lounge, Bar Belle and our meeting and event spaces. The hotel has 41 individually decorated rooms – each with its own name and personality – that reflect the charming place we proudly call home. Right outside the door you will find Skostredets' cafes, restaurants, bars and unique shops. Everything is within walking distance of Bryggen, Fløyen, Fisketorget and Bergen's cultural attractions, making Charmante an ideal base for experiencing the city, whatever the occasion. Sincerely, Andrés Reyes Gjerme General Manager Skostredet Charmante Skostredet Hôtel ligger i en av Bergens mest levende og historiske gater, Skostredet. I dag er gaten kjent for sine restauranter, kafeer, barer, nisjebutikker og et pulserende byliv – inkludert vår egen Brasserie Chérie. Gatens særpreg er dypt forankret i Bergens lange og rike byhistorie. Skostredet er en av Bergens gamle middelaldergater, bygget for å knytte byen sammen. Navnet kommer fra skomakerne som en gang dominerte området, og refererer til «sko» og skomakertradisjonen som preget gaten. I Tidligere århundrer var gaten fylt med skomakerboder og verksteder, og var en travel håndverks- og handelsgate i nærheten av Vågen havn. På det meste var det faktisk rundt 40 skomakere som holdt til her samtidig. Området rundt Skostredet er spesielt verdsatt for sine smale smug, småskala bebyggelse og tradisjonelle trehus – en viktig del av Bergens identitet. Byen har gjennom historien vært rammet av flere store branner, men har likevel bevart en av Europas største samlinger av trehusbebyggelse. Å bo på Charmante Skostredet Hôtel betyr å være omgitt av denne sjeldne kombinasjonen av historie og moderne byliv. En dualitet som også gjenspeiles i vårt fransk-norske uttrykk, hvor vi har tilført nabolaget vårt egen eleganse gjennom dekadente rom og en romantisk atmosfære inspirert av Paris på begynnelsen av 1900-tallet. Skostredet er ikke bare en destinasjon i seg selv, men et sted vi som lokal aktør er stolte av å kalle vårt hjem – og som vi hver dag bidrar til å skape liv i. Would you like the entire hotel to yourself? With a buy-out you get exclusive access to the entire Charmante Skostredet Hôtel. Our team will help you plan everything from accommodation and dining to social events and special requests. CONTACT US

På Charmante Skostredet Hôtel ønsker vi å ta vare på både menneskene, stedet og ressursene rundt oss. For oss handler bærekraft om de mange små og store valgene vi gjør hver dag – fra råvarer og leverandører til hvordan vi tar vare på hotellet vårt. SUSTAINABILITY Sustainability at Charmante At Charmante Skostredet Hôtel, sustainability is not a separate initiative. It is an integral part of how we welcome our guests, how we work with our partners and how we make decisions every day. As a local business, we have a strong connection to Bergen and the region around us. We believe that a meaningful guest experience should also make a positive contribution to the local community. Wherever possible, we therefore work with local and regional suppliers, particularly when it comes to food and drink. Our ambition is always to source directly and as locally as possible before looking further afield. In doing so, we reduce the need for transport, support local producers and, at the same time, offer our guests authentic flavours from the region. We are also working towards becoming certified under Miljøfyrtårn, Norway’s most widely used environmental certification scheme. Miljøfyrtårn helps organisations document their environmental efforts, work systematically towards improvement and demonstrate social responsibility. For us, the certification process is a natural continuation of the work already underway, helping us make sustainability both measurable and practical in our day-to-day operations. For us, sustainability is also about preserving stories, craftsmanship and cultural heritage. Many of the furnishings and decorative elements throughout the hotel, including books and other interior details, are carefully selected antiques that have been given a new life here at Charmante. Among them is a particularly special table from the home of Edvard Grieg — a piece that connects our guests with Bergen’s history while reminding us of the value of reuse, preservation and appreciating what already exists. Throughout the guest journey, we continually look for ways to reduce unnecessary waste and the use of resources. We limit paper consumption through digital room guides and considered communication. Behind the scenes, we use ozonated water as part of our cleaning routines, reducing the need for chemicals while maintaining high standards of hygiene and comfort. People are an important part of our approach to sustainability. Wherever possible, we aim to recruit locally, creating employment opportunities within our community and building a team with a strong sense of local knowledge and pride. In our kitchen, we also help nurture the next generation of hospitality professionals through apprenticeship programmes, giving young talent the opportunity to develop skills and build a career for the future. Our approach is practical and rooted in consideration — for our guests, our colleagues, our partners and the place we are proud to call home. We know that sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to becoming a little better, step by step, across every part of the Charmante experience.
