I Stay In The Most Northern Hotel In The World 👉czcams.com/video/JgXwdq5fTdI/video.html
i suggest you should review the Phoenicia resort in Romania the last time i went it was amazing.
It's not 5-star lol.
Is there car hire there?
Bing watched your videos for the past couple of days. I am digging them.
I live in Louisville, Ky home of the Kentucky Derby. It comes on the 1st Saturday in May. We do have an iconic hotel called "The Brown" I have
never been but it is a very luxurious hotel. If you do stay try the famous hot brown and please let me know.
Look up Waverly hills sanatorium. One of the top scary places in the world. I have been but when it was a real place in the 1970s. I refuse to go and live under 5 minutes away.
Also 30 minutes away from Frox Knox. The home of US gold.
You forgot to mention the price of everything!! Even the meal do you still remember how much you paid?
I’m so used to seeing Longyearbyen through the eyes of Cecilia Blomdahl. It was quite surreal and nice change seeing it from your perspective, Tim. We get the full tourist tour. The hotel looks so cosy and the food looks divine!
I watch Cecilia too,lovely content
I was about to ask if Tim got to meet Grim who lives on Svalbard!
@@dogsbody416He did ask apparently, but she declined to meet.
@@marcd6897 she did?? Wow i wonder why?
@@marcd6897 oh really? I wonder why..where did you read Tim say that? On this video or last?
I have terrible agoraphobia ( fear of the public ) so thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through your detailed tours. This one is my favorite so far, it gives off really homely energy ❤
You are so welcome!
Agoraphobia is not the fear of the public
It’s the fear of going outside
@@tshelby5212 I won't ever argue through a keyboard so we'll just agree to disagree.
😂😂😂typical liberal
Things will get better. The cure to agoraphobia is exposure therapy. Put yourself in situation that slowly trigger the panic and stop. Once you keep doing it, you'll start to make progress slowly.
One of the small pleasures i like in this life is laying in bed and listening to the cold wind howling through tiny cracks in windows and coming down the chimney in the wintertime. Heating on full as well as watching snow/rain lashing up against the windows
The fact that we get free travel videos from Tim on CZcams is priceless, keeping the knowledge & entertainment alive. 🙏🙏🙏
We get free -travel- videos -from Tim- on CZcams.
ftfy
You're a good human being, Tim. I wish you the best, and many more opportunities in the future. Your channel is so nice to listen to. It's a quiet corner, away from all of the anger, hatred, and vitriol, as well as the stress of the outside world. It's a refreshing place to retreat to, and I'm grateful for it. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
I agree. We need this. I watch a couple of his videos when I get into bed before I go to sleep.
When he was in the grocery in the first hotel he stayed in I was thinking that it is so cold they must have a heated bag so it doesn’t freeze - I live in Florida and have cold bags to get fresh food home to the frig.
This is where the Ice Hotel should be, They wouldn't have to rebuilt it, it would never melt.
I just love the” take your shoes off “
Thing!!
as a total germaphobe i totally agree 😂
@@user-vz2cx3yo2nsame😅
Nice to get a different viewpoint than Cecilia. I didn't know that Svalbard was classed as a desert... an arctic desert. Just as well. I love Cecilias videos as they allow me to enjoy the stunning scenery without feeling the bone numbing cold. I wouldn't leave the hotel during polar night, it would be morale crushing.
Two questions
1) how does a hotel like this stay in business
2) how does a restaurant in an area like this keep fresh food when it seems they have like no customers .
Why are you assuming they don’t have guests? There were other people at the hotel. Why are you ignoring that?
I just discovered Cecilia Blomdahl's channel a few weeks ago, and now I found yours and you've been in Svalbard! I feel like I really want to visit... just seems so calm and pretty and peaceful. Bucket list item added!
Welcome aboard!
Nice. Them canapes looked brilliant. I'll try them next time I'm up in the Arctic. The smoked reindeer looked quite interesting, but on further perusal of the menu I kept getting a picture in my mind of some bloke in a snowscape with a large flamethrower, standing over a deceased Rudolph. So, I think I'll go for the Arctic char. Have to say , holding the mic up to the window and hearing the wind howling does remind one that it's absolutely Baltic out there.
Quite amazing how natural you speak to the camera. We all feel you speak to us. Good job!
Tim, I always lurk and never comment but I just need to wish you and your family a Very VERY Merry Christmas. I won't go too sentimental with what I'm saying but seeing such a loving father figure is healing my inner child every video and for that I cannot thank you enough.
Thank you, means alot. Merry Christmas to you too
I LOVE that fireplace❤❤
Sorry for catching you off guard earlier whilst you were eating your Greggs at the airport. 😂 I spotted you straight away and couldn’t resist saying hello!
I hope you had a safe journey to wherever you were going. Happy New Year and I’m looking forward to your next video.
Ha no worries good to meet you .. when u stopped me I was confused like I had done something 😉
I like how you’re showing us what it, feels like if it was still dark outside. I like the change in atmosphere. It’s nice seeing what type of things people do in a place where it’s always dark. Great video Tim as always. 🙌
It’s not always dark. They have 4 months where it always light because the sun never sets. Very interesting place that’s for sure.
LOVE that you take your shoes off and put on slippers....SO much cleaner for all!
Tim, it was so nice to see these videos of the far North. Growing up in a climate similar to what I have seen here, I can tell you that I won't be traveling to any cold place for the remainder of my life (had enough cold winters for three lifetimes when I lived back home) but the beauty of CZcams is that I can see places that I would not dare go through content creators such as yourself:) Thank you for sharing.
Scandinavian style. Love it. Dinner looked amazing and very reasonably priced for the Quality and variety. What an experience. It'll definitely be on my bucket list😅
I'm with you on that, Tim. I hate soft pillows. I feel too hot and smothered. I usually bring my own.
What a cozy luxurious hotel , that darkness tho ✨❄️
Love the darkness!!
Lots of vitamin D like they do on subs that stay under water for extended periods of time, even under the ice in the arctic.
Hi Tim , if your ever visiting Amsterdam , theres a Hotel in a Tower crane down by the docks maybe you could try it
its coming in the new year :-)
Очень уютно!
Merry Christmas Tim, Gaby and Casper 👍👍😁🌲⛄☃️🌲
Loving these North Pole videos… definitely my favourite location.. I would love to stay in this area😍
I could easily spend 6 months in that room, with a good stack of books. Looks so cozy. I've been working at Thule Air Base in NW Greenland. It was the same. During wintertime, nothing happens, and no one cares about anything. Lazy life, easy life.
Personally I liked the darkness (73 degrees North), but many people got desperate. A few suicides and many depressed people. But I really liked the peace and quiet.
Great vlog.
Electric snowmobiles is the most ridiculous thing in the Arctic! You couldn't venture too far. You can haul petrol but you can't carry an electrical charging station.
I’ve been there. It’s a lovely and cozy hotel!
Very ...
Never understood the fear british people have when it comes to raindeer meat, its soo good🤤😊
I watched Cecelia for years and I feel like this is the first time I saw Svalbard from a visitor’s perspective
Tim I'd love to see you stay in a hotel in Greenland next !
These hotels, as well as some of the trains that you've been on....they don't seem to make much financial sense, there are barely any people using them O_O
@9:52 or so, holy cow, I turned up the volume and that wind instantly gave me the chills...that's insane...
I would be sat looking out the window with a beer in my hand , thinking im nice and cosy , and warm .
Lovely hotel .
Snow mobile ride ? Cant see a bloody thing , Skiing ? Same as snow mobile .
Just stay in , have a beer or two and chill .
This looks amazing. I was surprised the meal was so reasonably priced, i also love the no shoes policy. ❤
And so was the hotel lol
The shoes off policy is necessary to keep the dirt from the unsealed roads and ice out of the building. The reminder that no guns are allowed is also necessary as everyone has to carry a gun when outside the town boundaries. These are required to scare away polar bears. They also practice shooting every so often at a shooting range.
This is my favorite 5-star hotel that you've stayed at. I agree with you, what a comfy cozy looking place. Absolutely beautiful !
My son stayed in an ice hotel in Lapland he loved it ❤ looks beautiful and I’m with you couldn’t eat rudolf either
At 14 seconds----"The Shining!!"
That's what I thought when I first saw that.
Brrr.....way too cold for me.
Good video, tho.
Great video! I watch Cecelia and her adventures a lot. This is really interesting to see the other side of the coin though, not from a resident, but from an exploring traveler! Thank you, thank you!🩵
Tim, you are the best man for this job.. excellent reviews every time, no matter where or when...love all of your videos x
I appreciate that!
For you to spend as much money as you did to go here, this video is not nearly long enough. And would have loved to have seen you walk around the town, maybe go to museum, maybe go to a store, go to the grocery store, go to a local bar, pretty much anything
Another great video! Jacy'z hotel gothenburg, kempinski in berchtesgaden germany, hotel altus palace in wroclaw poland, Château de la Motte Fénelon cambrai france, also a champaign tour in epernay, just a few recomendations :)
❤ beautiful hotel, just found another channel to watch, I love watching Cecelia she lives there. Guess watching your tubes today feeling sick today no work
We really enjoyed this video Tim. Looks amazing & very cosy!
I love your channel and reviews. There is a calmness to it that I just cannot describe. You were desperately trying to describe the reindeer meat, I think gamey was the word you were looking for. Strong flavor like in venison. Keep up the reviews!
Too bad you didn't look up Cecilia Blomdahl who lives just outside of Longyearbyen. She also makes video/vlogs and has shown a lot of the different activities, stores and places to eat. One if I remember is the Husky Cafe. Her partner was a chef at one time and has worked at different jobs. This is second video of yours -- I watched the Ritz one first -- mega spending -- who babysat your toddler while you were at dinner. You and your wife looked terrific and the food even more so.I'm going to watch some more of your videos. Thank you.
Your room looked very nice, but the hall with the dark green very dark, strange being dark, both night and day 😊
As cold as the north is with all the beautiful snow everywhere looks cozy 😊
Thanks to your video now I've added staying at this hotel to my bucket list. Absolutely gorgeous the hotel ambience and the doorway lights.
I watched this twice cause it made me feel cosy
To build and what’s much more important to maintain this level of comfort and service in the dark ice desert is on the same level of amazing as landing a man on the moon. It also shows what humans can achieve if they stop killing each other and focus on working together
It looked lovely, warm and and very inviting but like you I wouldn't like the near constant darkness. But then they have the Midnight Sun in summer! Anyway, thank you for producing such enjoyable travelogs this year. I appreciate all the work and time that goes into it. Wishing you, Gaby, Holly and Casper a very merry and relaxing Christmas!
I think that both polar night and the midnight sun would be difficult -- for the first, all you'd want to do is sleep, and for the second, you'd have trouble sleeping unless you get blackout curtains, which I assume most people living that far north use. Winter would be really difficult also because I can't see to drive when it's dark.Thankfully here in Florida, the earliest the sun sets is like 5:30 so I can be home from work by that time.
I suggest that you stay in a hotel in Williamsburg, VA USA. It’s a town that recreates colonial Williamsburg. Christmastime is the best time to visit ( We live near this town and would even enjoy going to the town with you.)
The 5 star hotel is called the Williamsburg Inn
Did you run into Cecilia Blomdahl while there, she has a weekly Svalbard channel.
She stopped into that hotel for Christmas drinks with her friend.
You need to go back in the summer so we can see the contrast of how the place looks in the daylight!
Thank you for all these wonderful video tours. Greetings from (unlike Svalbard), sunny Curacao!
Our pleasure!
That was such a calm and comforting vlog. Reindeer I like and is low in cholesterol.
Looks like a lovely hotel Tim and that meal looked good. I personally couldn’t be doing with the constant darkness, I struggle enough with the early darkness in the Uk in winter! But good to have the experiences and definitely looks cosy at night! All the best to you and your family ❤️
The dark would drive me nuts
Great Vlog again Tim. You always capture the essence of the places you visit. This comes across a really cosy, clean and well presented hotel. I do like the shoe removing and slipper wearing it’s kind of homely to me. Seating areas are very cosy as you rightly point out. Lighting in the hotel looks like it gives the cosy feel too. Food looks amazing but never enough for me. Snow mobiles are great fun , I rode one in Lapland but it wasn’t electric . Thanks again for an amazing insight into this experience Tim
thanks Clive
Enjoy your videos very much. Wish there was some way to make the volume more consistent. I find myself constantly adjusting up and down. But that's not really much of an issue. Thanks so much.
Just recently discovered your channel and I love the hotel tours! Just as a small suggestion - for the ones of us who enjoy a good water pressure, would be nice if you could do a brief water pressure "check" for the sink or shower when presenting the bathrooms. Otherwise great stuff, I'm a new fan of yours 🙂
Thanks for the tip!
this is a trip that I would love to do. But Tim, you should have eaten the reindeer meat. It looked gorgeous and you did shell out for it. It's natural to eat local produce out there. I loved the snow mobile trip and I'd love the wine tasting! Can't believe how dark it is!
I couldn't go there. When it's dark outside my brain says it's time to sleep. Listening to the wind outside made me feel so cold. The snowmobile ride was cool. I liked hearing about the water under the ice. That was very interesting. I think it takes a special type person to live there. Safe travels home and glad you didn't run into any lost polar bears.
You could go in summer where its 24/7 light. Midnight sun.
Im a big fan of your videos and think it would be good to visit Tokyo, Japan and witness all the crazy technology and robots they have there, Thankyou for all your great videos and i hope you find this comment, keep up the good work
thank you Hugo
Highway man inn on Dartmoor is a place to stay for sure
Great Nothern hotel enjoyed
Let's make Tim's channel one of the fastest growing channels ever!
It's possible because we all know how addictive these videos are! Not only that, but they're incredibly helpful for those of us that might be visiting these places.
You're the best!
I am very interested in Svalbard. My only concern is that the increase in tourism will damage the delicate ecosystem 😢. Any ideas on how to reduce the environmental footprint and still enjoy all that Svalbard has to offer? Please no anonymous likes or comments on this post. Thanks!
Hello Tim 😊 Very well put together again Tim 👍 What a place. The hotel was lovely and cosy looking indeed 😊
Hi all you guys , want to wish you a merry Christmas,and all the best 🌲🎅🌲
3rd of your videos I've seen in 2 days. Love to see these places thru you, great tour guide !
I really enjoyed this vlog. I also enjoyed the vlog before with the polar bears. Loved the polar bear sitting at the bar 😄 it would be great if you could do some more Vlogs from Norway and Swede 😊
@CeciliaBlomdahl is the best ambassador for anyone visiting Svalbard. I am trying to visit next year if I can. I tend to spend my winters in the Arctic Circle in Alaska.
Nice one Tim That being in the dark wud spin me out lovely hotel have a Merry Christmas Tim 🎄✌️
Merry Christmas Lee
Vielen Dank, super gut gezeigt, als wäre ich mit dabei.
Hotel looked great, so cozy, suppose it must be like being on a space station when you think the outside is so hostile with the cold. Must be really hard to get used to that 24 night though. The snow mobile trip looked bloody freezing, haha especially in that wind, bet you were glad to get back in the warm in that lovely cozy hotel in your slippers sitting at the bar 😀👍🥰
Just reserved five days at Funken Lodge thanks to your video. Hard to get sensible flights from Finland to Svalbard thoug.. One of my favourite channels, keep up the very good
work! Greetings from Finland. :)
I recently discovered your channel and I really enjoy your content. Who would have thought such luxurious hotels existed at the north pole? Santa certainly has some very nice accommodations! The best part is that if the power ever goes out, Rudolph can always lighten things up.
Would 100% do such a trip. Thanks for sharing
Nice video Tim. I recently bought a house so I haven't been able to travel for a while, but watching your videos makes me feel like I'm travelling. Loved the style of the hotel.
The Hotel looks fabulous & the food looks delicious 😋. Thanks Tim & Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you & your family 🎄🎅⛄️🥳
Tim, come and see us in Bahrain and stay at Le Royal Meridien 🇧🇭 xxxxxx
The best review travel channel on CZcams
I just discovered your channel. It is so interesting to see how other people live and the different customs. Great job!! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
Make sure you watch many of his earlier videos. I think Tim makes just about the most interesting videos on CZcams. I know of only a few other content providers that I watch every video they make like I do Tim's.
thank you , hope you had a great Christmas and new year
Tim, have you watched videos by Cecilia Blomdahl ? She is a famous youtuber who lives permanently on Svalbard. Cecilia is very talented.
I think he does, he said he approached her for a meet-up but she declined.
I went to Svalbard 5 years ago in January and stayed at Funken Lodge for three days, we went to one of the mines that suddenly was left and closed during the first week of advent many years ago, it looked as they, the workers, just walked out and left the x-mas decorations behind in the mine office. We went with dog sledges to Adventdalen in minus 24°C, and to the church open 24/7. It's a pity you did not get to do more. Svalbard and Longyearbyen are absolutely worth a wisit. I do recommend Cecilia Blomdahl's vlogs, she's been living out side Longyearbyen for 7-8 years, showing what it is like living there through polar nights and midsummer nights with sun, and what activitiesis worth doing. I hope to go back, as I live in Norway 🇳🇴 Like your nice vlogs 🎉😊 Merry Christmas.
Like what you’re doing! Cool location, keep up the good work. Love it! 😊

Great review!
Love what seems to be a tablet/phone stand and a holder for a wine glass(?) in the bath thingie.
The food @dinner looks amazing and the price isn't even that bad for a restaurant in a 5* hotel.
Changing into slippers in a hotel certainly wouldn’t be seen in Pontins or Butlins 😂 love your vlogs. Like seeing you progress and reviewing hotels across the world. Well done Tim 😊
I so love watching your videos! I just discovered them a few days ago. I would be another person that would be depressed in the dark winter. My sister-in-law is from Alaska, and she said that most people get used to it. I would love the summer light, though! Since there is zero percent chance of my going there, I appreciate seeing you enjoying yourself.
I'm surprised that it wasn't over-expensive! Even the dinner price, for the quality you got, was ok imo. The bedroom was too small for my liking though, looked tighter than the glass igloo 😄
Cool place to visit, maybe for summer solstice next year as comparison? 😉
And everywhere he goes he goes in his thin jeans...😄
Thank you so much, we are all vicarious globetrotters thanks to you!!!❤
Lovely hotel and homely feeling nice room food and area and artic place thanks 4 sharing merry Xmas
Strasburg Hotel in Strasburg Virginia. I stayed there quite a bit long time ago. War War 1 private hospital during that time, but turned it into hotel inn. Just thought it was so interesting you would enjoy that.
Love to see you visit the Big 5 National Parks in UTAH…or just Zion & Bryce. Also the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone
I wish you would have done more hotels in Vegas. Please visit some more hotels there. Especially the aria.
One of the loveliest hotels I’ve seen..
You should try to meet her and her husband. They
live slightly out of town with an adorable husky.
I don't think I could handle 24hr darkness.
What a beautiful and seemingly well thought out hotel, so cosy and relaxing!
Beautiful hotel. Interesting place.
