SVART

The Svart project in Norway, known as Six Senses Svart, is an innovative and sustainable luxury hotel development set to open in 2024. Located at the base of the Svartisen glacier and overlooking the Holandsfjorden fjord, this project is remarkable for being the world's first energy-positive hotel, meaning it will generate more energy than it consumes.

The hotel will feature 94 rooms built on poles to minimize environmental impact, ensuring minimal disruption to the land and seabed. Its circular design maximizes solar energy collection and provides panoramic views while maintaining guest privacy. The building will operate entirely off-grid, with its own waste and water management systems and will use solar energy exclusively for its construction and operation​ (Global Traveler)​​ (Svart)​​ (Hospitality ON)​.
