Historical Gallery - 120 Years from Seamen's Home to City Hotel

This year we celebrate a very special milestone - 120 years in the heart of Aalborg!

Come behind the scenes and dive into our rich history, where seafarers, city life and community have characterised the place since 1905. We have opened the archives and found a treasure trove of old photos that show the journey from humble seamen's home to today's KOMPAS Hotel Aalborg - a modern city hotel with history intact.

Join us and rediscover Aalborg through the ages!
