Which hotels in Norway have a fjord view?
Examples from Geiranger, Flåm, Loen and Hardanger, and what to ask when you book.
Short answer
Hotels with fjord views include Hotel Utsikten in Geiranger, Fretheim Hotel in Flåm, Hotel Alexandra in Loen, Brakanes Hotel in Ulvik and Hotel Ullensvang in Lofthus. Not every room faces the water: at Brakanes, 80 of the 143 rooms face the fjord. Ask for a fjord-facing room when you book.
Why
- Hotel Utsikten stands at the Flydalsjuvet viewpoint high above Geiranger and looks out over the Geirangerfjord, according to the hotel.
- Fretheim Hotel in Flåm has 122 rooms, all with views of the fjord and/or the mountains, and several rooms at Flåmsbrygga Hotel have a balcony facing the Aurlandsfjord.
- In Hardanger, Brakanes Hotel sits at the edge of the fjord in Ulvik, and Hotel Ullensvang in Lofthus offers rooms with fjord views.
Details
Fjord Norway describes Hotel Alexandra in Loen as a first-class hotel with a view over the fjord. Brakanes Hotel has a fjordside beach, hot tub, sauna and pool, and Hotel Ullensvang has a sauna with a panoramic view of the fjord and indoor and outdoor pools. At Fretheim Hotel, the restaurant looks out over the centre of Flåm and the fjord.
Tip
Choose a room category that states fjord view when you book, since a hotel by the fjord does not guarantee the view from every room.
What may differ
Some fjord hotels are seasonal: Hotel Utsikten in Geiranger, for example, is open only in summer.
