Best Western Plus Hotel Ilulissat opened in June 2021. It is the first and only hotel in Greenland affiliated with Best Western. The hotel is Greenlandic-owned. It was founded by the Bagger brothers of Ilulissat and Jens Salling of Qeqertarsuaq, and a local hotel manager runs it. The building uses modern architecture with a design that reflects the local environment and Greenlandic culture. Many rooms, the restaurant, and the terrace look out over Disko Bay and the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hotel works with Greenlandic suppliers and artists. Its restaurant takes part in the Meet the Locals initiative, which sources seasonal ingredients from local Greenlandic markets. Guests use the hotel as a base for exploring the icefjord, seeing the midnight sun, and spending time in town.
