HOTEL DESCRIPTION: A hotel is a hotel. A hotel is a bed, a bathroom and breakfast. That is what most people think, but a hotel is more than just a place to sleep... It should also give guests the feeling that they are welcome, a feeling of pleasure and cheerful hospitality. And if it is an environmentally friendly enterprise as well, then it must be a hotel a little out of the ordinary … …. as is the Augustin Hotel.
The hotel is also out of the ordinary in terms of food and drink. The Brasserie No22 has a modern rustic interior but there is nothing rustic about the food it serves – neither its light meals nor its tempting main dishes. The meeting and functions department is also unusual. It is in a 400-year-old stone cellar with long-standing traditions as a tavern. The bar counter is a piece of contemporary art.

The Altona cellar is what remains of the Altona building that was part of this block. Among other things it housed one of the oldest known taverns in Bergen, dating back to the first half of the 17th century and perhaps even earlier. The tavern also had rooms where travellers could stay; in other words it was a hostelry. It was also the Bergen's cultural centre for a period. Both Det Harmoniske Selskab (the Musical Association) and Det Dramatiske Selskab (the Theatrical Association) held house here during the latter half of the 18th century. Det Harmoniske Selskab grew to become the present day Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the world's oldest symphonic orchestras. Det Dramatiske Selskab grew large and rich enough to build first the city's old theatre and subsequently its new one. The Altona building was host to a highly varied cultural scene during several historical periods and survived several of the city's big fires, but after a fire in 1901 it all came to an end. The area was scheduled for development and new buildings were erected - but the cellar remained intact.
