Balestrand, Norway - 4 stars
Kviknes Hotel is a charming hotel beautifully located beside the Sognefjord. The hotel is placed in beautiful Norwegian romantic scenery. Among former guests, the hotel can pride itself of visitors such as Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, royalty, emperors, presidents, prime ministers, film stars and artists from many countries can be found on the guest list. The Kvikne’s family who still own the hotel today took over in 1877. The hotel was built in the “Swiss” style. There have been many new buildings, reconstructions and extensions since, but none of this has altered the special character of this place. Take a stroll through the lounges to enjoy the benefit of what the art interested family has collected over generations. Nature, mountains and the Sognefjord is just a step outside the door and free to enjoy for everyone. Take a relaxing breather in the garden, whilst reading your favourite book or enjoy your afternoon tea in the shade of a tree. Kviknes is now a modern hotel with old-world charm and atmosphere - and with 190 guest rooms it is one of the largest tourist hotels in Norway. The hotel is graced with an extensive collection of artworks and antiques, which give it its special style. At Kviknes Hotel great emphasis is placed on culinary experiences. Local ingredients are used as far as possible and the Sognefjord is an outstanding larder.
