Hotel Sisimiut is a 3-star hotel with 40 rooms, a conference centre, a bar and a gourmet restaurant.
In partnership with local tour operators, the hotel offers a wide range of excursions and adventures for both individuals and groups.
Greenlandic cuisine
The hotel restaurant, Restaurant Nasaasaaq, serves a combination of Greenlandic ingredients from a multicultural kitchen.
It’s not unusual for ingredients such as Greenland halibut, prawns, lamb, reindeer, musk ox, angelica and blackcurrants to be used in the dishes.
The restaurant combines these Greenlandic ingredients with the latest trends and developments in international cuisine.
Hiking
There are lots of hikes available in Sisimiut’s backcountry. Set off, for example, on a hike to Præstefjeldet – a beautiful hike on a lush southward-facing slope with a view of the town and the surrounding landscape.
The hike runs through green terrain populated by lots of bushes, flowers and mosses. Alternatively, you can hike to Teleøen or Kællingehætten, a 784-metre high fell which lies southeast of the town.
The hike to Kællingehætten is one of the most demanding routes in the area. If you prefer easier routes, the pleasant walk on the gravel road out to the river east of the town is highly recommended.

Experiences offered at Hotel Sisimiut
Inuit culture
Despite a harsh climate and difficult living conditions, people have survived in Greenland for several millennia.Teleøen, Sallinnguit, is one of the places at which the past and present meet.
Different Inuit cultures have lived in the area during the course of the last 4,000 years. The area has several remnants of the Saqqaq culture, large piles of stones that bear witness to old burial sites and remains of peat-walled houses.
Guided sightseeing
Go on a bus tour and get a good and concise impression of life in Greenland’s second biggest town. The tour starts at the former heliport, which was the only point of access to Sisimiut until 1998.
The bus drives past the “board”, where the day’s freshly caught fish and animals can be found, before heading past the town hall on the way to the southern part of the town where many of the original houses of hunters and fishermen are situated.
The bus drives up to the town’s highest vantage point. Here you can enjoy an impressive view to the south before the tour continues through the old quarter in the centre of the town, where the original buildings from the 18th century colonial period today make up the venue for the museum.
Wildlife
Experience reindeer, whales, hundreds of birds and perhaps land a fish – on boat trips, dogsled trips or on one of the many hiking trips.
On tours with Hotel Sisimiut you have the chance to experience some of Greenland’s wildlife. If you have any special wishes, you can always contact the personnel and hear more about their excursions.
River fishing
Go fishing with Sirius Greenland in some of Sisimiut’s legendary trout rivers. Fishing for Arctic char in the rivers is synonymous with exclusive fishing in pristine waters.
With the rugged mountain peaks as a backdrop, you can be sure of a fishing adventure for life. There are plenty of Arctic char; the only question is who’ll catch the biggest one.
Sirius Greenland awards an attractive prize to the person catching the year’s biggest char.
Dog sledding
Discover Sismiut from a sled pulled along behind a team of baying dogs. If you are in Greenland in the winter you simply cannot miss out a dog sled ride.
Hotel Sisimut offers tours lasting a few hours giving you a feel for the area’s unique natural landscape.
If you are looking for something longer, you can go for a two-day trip with an overnight stay.
This trip is a little more strenuous, but you can look forward to seeing snow-covered mountains and you will get to see the close working relationship between driver and dogs.
You will become part of the team and you will be taking part in the cooking and other activities. Sealskin clothing is available for hire for the trip.
