Hotel SØMA is one of the biggest hotel chains in Greenland with hotels in four fantastic destinations on the western coast. Greenland is a country many know for dog sledding, sea safari or northern lights watching. We believe that exploring and understanding the destination you visit means better understanding Greenland as a whole. That is why we offer guided city walks in all four destinations: Nuuk, Sisimiut, Aasiaat and Ilulissat. These towns have many stories to tell and you will leave with a better understanding of a piece of Greenland.
