Architect of the building: Eilert Smith
The hotel takes its name from the architect who designed the building, Mr Eilert Smith. The building was designed in 1937 in a functional style that sprang from modernism. Clean and elegant, without any excess details or embellishments. The white concrete walls have rows of windows in horizontal bands. On the ground level, full-sized windows allow light into what once used to be the showroom for freezers and heaters. Form follows function in this building and the architecture underlines functionality and efficiency as ideals of the modern era. A tall and slender tower crowned with a clock illustrates this. Even if it is bold and modern, the curved shapes and rounded corners give it a very humane expression. The hotel comes off as timeless and contemporary even if Eilert designed it more than 80 years ago. The square and areas by the hotel are intimate with a view of the fjord and reveal the Skagen neighbourhood as a charming part of the Stavanger old town.
