[2] Park Hotel was built on a site that previously belonged to Sandefjord Spa.

[6] The hotel was designed by architect Arnstein Arneberg, and opened as “The Whaling House” (Hvalfangstens Hus) in 1959.

[10] When it was established as Hvalfangstens Hus, the eighth floor was occupied by offices for Norges Hvalfangstforbund and other whaling organizations.

The Oslo City Hall was one of architect Arnstein Arneberg’s inspirations when designing the hotel.

The hotel has views of the adjacent park Badeparken, surrounding hillsides, and the Sandefjord Harbor and Sandefjordsfjord.
