ISMOS | INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY IN OIL SYSTEMS (ISMOS)

Grand Hotel Terminus

Grand Hotel Terminus, the “Grand Old Lady” of Bergen, offers a distinctive and inspiring setting for ISMOS 11, combining historic elegance with modern conference facilities in the very heart of the city. Opened in 1928 and today recognized as a protected architectural landmark, the hotel is one of Norway’s finest examples of Bergen classicism, carefully preserved while thoughtfully updated following a recent renovation.

With 174 stylish rooms and a wide range of exclusive conference and event spaces, the Grand Hotel Terminus provides an ideal environment for scientific exchange, networking, and collaboration. Its central location directly opposite Bergen Central Station makes it exceptionally accessible for both international and local participants. Bergen Airport (Flesland) is approximately 20 minutes away by car (and 45 min by direct city train access), and the historic city center—including Bryggen Wharf, the harbor, and cultural attractions—is all within easy walking distance.

A highlight of the hotel is the renowned Amundsen Bar & Bistro, home to an award-winning whiskey collection and a warm, unique ambiance—perfect for informal discussions and social gatherings. Welcome to the new Grand Hotel Terminus: a timeless Bergen classic and an exceptional conference venue.
