The Britannia was shuttered on March 16 because of the pandemic.
NEW YORK – The Britannia hotel in Trondheim, Norway, reopens after 44 days of closure as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The hotel opened in 1870, a grand haven for British aristocrats coming to Trondheim for salmon fishing.
The 257-room Britannia was given a new lease on life in April 2019 after a three-year, multimillion-dollar renovation pioneered by Trondheim-born Forbes 500 billionaire, Odd Reitan. In February 2020, the hotel's Speilsalen restaurant (one of the hotel's six restaurants) and its chef, Christopher Davidsen, received a Michelin star for its multi-course tasting menu.
The Britannia was shuttered on March 16 because of the pandemic. "This hotel has seen a lot in its 150-year history," says Mikael Forselius, the Britannia's Managing Director. "It has survived two world wars, the influenza pandemic of 1918-19 and now Covid-19; we are thrilled to be reopening our doors as spring brightens up Norway's third-largest city."
