The Lofoten Opera Hotel will not be an ordinary hotel. Because not only will it lie in a magnificent location in Norway, where the Atlantic and high mountains meet (in an area called Glåpen near Lofoten), but with its serpentine shape it will be a unique attraction that will complement and emphasize both the beauty and the harshness of nature .
