That seagull is really living at the Edge :D

Sharpish looking architecture - on its own brilliant, but I wonder how it blends into the cityscape (this is Tromsø?).

This is Tromsø yes, - and in this city nothing blends in with anything...

OK, so it is all about seeing beauty in the chaos then.

I would prefer the old building stryle, though. By far. It really blends in with the demands set by the arctic nature itself.

Interesting geometry revealed by #2. The lonely seagull is also a plus. Otherwise I tend to agree with Bjorn R.

The long shot at the end tells me the most about the hotel.
It looks like one of those climate-controlled buildings where the windows don't open, and there is a vent on the wall with a knob that says "air".

The first thing that came into my mind was 'Clean'. These images are bold and clean. In the last image, the hotel reminds of sails.

even the design on its own is clear and good (nordic feng shui ;))
i find it is a pity to put it into that place -  poor neigbours - 12 month mid winter night
the pictures, especially including the birds, show the style of the building and its place in a perfect manner
