Solstrand Hotel

Situated at the end of the stunning Sunnfjord, in the Norwegian fjords, lies Åmot. Here the accommodations are split into the villa, which dates back to 1890, and the cottage, a charming guesthouse originally in the 1820s.

The picturesque 29/2 Aurland makes the most of its stunning Norwegian Fjords surroundings. Riverside Farm Lodge offers five fisherman’s cabin bedrooms in the Riverside Farm Lodge; two Goat Barn suites; and two East Wing rooms, as well as a cabin in Sørheim in Luster which can sleep up to eight people. An old traditional smokehouse on the property has been transformed into the breakfast and dining lounge.

Having stood in as home for anglers for several generations, the decor in each of the rooms is inspired by people who had close links to the Aurlandselva river, and the spacious Jericho and Liverpool suites are perfect for couples or families. If secluded peace and quiet are top of your list, then follow the narrow road that winds along beside the Lustrafjord to the cabin, where time seems to slow down.

Each of the buildings on the has been individually restored, with a focus on its history and the local community. The long-term plan is to convert some of the other buildings into suites in future. Go walking or cycling through the mountains and valleys, or take to the water in kayaks or a traditional Oselver.

Go walking or cycling through the mountains and valleys, or take to the water in kayaks or a traditional Oselver rowboat. And in addition to appreciating the natural beauty around you, spend some time getting acquainted with the history and culture of the people of the area.

Set beside a fjord in the idyllic village of Solvorn, this charming hotel is one of the oldest family-run hotels in Norway, having been owned by the same family since 1690.

The 22 comfortable rooms look out over the mountains, garden and Sognefjord. In fact, the gardens are among the hotel’s most prized features. Stroll between lilacs and fruit trees – it’s a peaceful and evocative place to unwind.

Every evening a set four-course dinner is served as guests share tales of their day exploring the region. Enjoy dishes such as langoustines from the fjord, venison from the mountains, berries from nearby fields, farmhouse cheeses, home-made apple juice, and raspberry nectar.

To celebrate the Nitter Walaker family’s 300-year jubilee at the hotel, a gallery was opened in 1990. The building was constructed in 1883 from material from an old church which dated back to around 1600. Work by local and international artists is featured, with many of them attending the opening of their exhibitions.

Spend time exploring the fjords, rivers and small towns around the hotel. A variety of walking trails will take you to waterfalls, glaciers and stave churches.

This historic family hotel was first established in 1846 and occupies a coveted position on the sunny side of Sorfjorden, an arm of the Hardangerfjord. With the fantastic panorama of the majestic Hardanger mountain plateau behind you and the fjord in front, you’ll be immersed in the full charm of the Norwegian countryside.

Composed of 17 deluxe guest rooms – 9 en suite rooms and 7 suites, the hotel is classically and exquisitely decorated throughout. Each room comes with a private balcony, complete with either a mountain view over delightful apple orchards or over the spectacular fjord. Your room will be fully equipped with a satellite TV, minibar and a bathtub. When you’re not enjoying the comforts of your room, take a dip in the heated indoor pool or swim a few laps in one of Europe’s longest outdoor swimming channels, ending up in an outdoor infinity pool.

The restaurant serves up homemade, traditional Norwegian cuisine and there’s two bars to relax in after a hard day’s exploring. Venture outside of the warm and welcoming hotel, and you’ll find a wealth of hiking and walking opportunities on your doorstep: the Hardanger mountain plateau is the biggest in Northern Europe and a national park.
