EXPLORE NORWAY
Through our partnership with De Historiske, WorldHotels introduces a curated selection of properties that offer a more personal way to experience Norway. De Historiske brings together a diverse collection of hotels, including historic manor houses, elegant city hotels, traditional coaching inns, and family-run retreats set against Norway’s dramatic fjords and mountain landscapes.
Each property is carefully chosen for its strong sense of place. Guests are not just staying overnight—they are stepping into local stories shaped by generations, architecture that reflects Norwegian heritage, and surroundings that invite you to slow down and take it in. From locally sourced cuisine to authentic design and genuine hospitality, every detail is rooted in the destination itself.
Framed by striking coastlines, deep valleys, and open, untouched nature, the landscape becomes an integral part of the experience, shaping both the setting and the pace of your stay. This is where comfort meets character. Where modern expectations meet timeless surroundings. And where travel becomes more than a stay—it becomes a meaningful connection to Norway’s culture, landscapes, and traditions.

KVIKNES HOTELL
Set against the dramatic landscape of Balestrand on the edge of Norway’s majestic Sognefjord, Kviknes Hotel invites explorers into a world of fjords, mountains, and timeless hospitality. Founded in 1752 and taken over by the Kvikne family in 1877, the hotel perfectly blends its storied past—complete with a historic Swiss chalet–style wing dating from 1913—with a modern addition from the 1960s. Once a favored stop for English and German travelers, Kviknes remains a gateway to Norway’s natural theatre—fjord cruises, glowing mountain peaks, and scenery that has inspired generations of artists.
Each stay feels like a journey of discovery, whether enjoying locally sourced cuisine and fine wines with views over the water or waking up to the calm of the fjord from a private balcony. Inside, historic artwork and antiques tell stories of the past, while just beyond the doors await unforgettable outdoor experiences: hiking above the fjord, kayaking along the shoreline, cycling scenic routes, and exploring Balestrand’s charming landmarks. With its unique blend of history, nature, and comfort, Kviknes Hotel is an ideal starting point for exploring the heart of Norway.
KRONEN GAARD HOTELL
Just outside Sandnes, Kronen Gaard Hotell is a historic countryside retreat rooted in more than a century of Norwegian hospitality. Originally built in 1898 by timber merchant Gabriel Block Watne as a family summer residence, it has evolved into a welcoming retreat praised for its warm and informal atmosphere.
Inside, 32 individually styled rooms and suites—many furnished with heirloom pieces and modern comforts—invite tranquility amid the countryside. Mornings begin with an locally sourced breakfast in the dining room before guests head out to explore the region: scenic hikes, canoe trips, or a drive to iconic sights like Lysefjord and Pulpit Rock just an hour away. Evenings bring relaxed dinners rooted in seasonal Norwegian cuisine—served in open-kitchen splendor—and time spent among the gardens, or gathered around the lounge bar.
HOEL GÅRD
Set on the Nes peninsula along the shores of Lake Mjøsa, Hoel Gård is a historic farm estate that offers a peaceful connection to Norway’s rural heartland. With roots dating back several centuries, the property has evolved into a welcoming countryside retreat, where traditional farm buildings frame open fields, tree-lined avenues, and uninterrupted lake views. The atmosphere is unhurried and authentic, shaped by nature and seasons.
A farm-based breakfast made from Hoel’s own vegetables, herbs, and berries sets the tone for the day, followed by time spent exploring the surroundings. Canoeing and swimming in Lake Mjøsa, cycling to nearby Helgøya, or wandering the open landscape offer relaxed and memorable ways to experience the region. In the evening, seasonal dinners celebrate local ingredients, while the lakeside bathhouse invites relaxation with sauna, steam room and outdoor hot tub. With its strong sense of place, farm-to-table philosophy, and lakeside serenity, Hoel Gård is an ideal base for discovering Norway’s quieter landscapes.
SUNDVOLDEN HOTEL
Sundvolden Hotel, set at the edge of Krokskogen forest by Tyrifjorden and Steinsfjorden, traces its origins to 1648 as a historic stop along the old Royal Bergen Road. Over centuries, it has welcomed royalty—from Queen Desideria and King Karl III Johan in the early 1800s to Crown Prince Edward of Britain and Emperor Wilhelm II—before evolving into a modern yet timeless retreat.
Today’s Sundvolden combines traditional charm and contemporary comfort across 273 rooms, many offering lakeside or forest views. Guests can unwind in the spa with saunas, steam baths, outdoor jacuzzi, and fitness center after days spent hiking or biking through Krokskogen, or visiting local sights like Kongens utsikt, Kistefos Museum, or a Viking ship at the beach. Dining leans into seasonal, locally sourced cuisine served in atmospheric restaurants and lounges.
RØROS HOTELL
Røros Hotell stands just beyond the edge of Røros’s UNESCO-listed historic center, offering modern comfort amid the town’s iconic wooden streets and mining heritage. As the region’s largest hotel with around 160 stylish rooms, it features both indoor and seasonal outdoor pools, a sauna, a children’s playroom, gym facilities, and EV charging—perfect for families, conference guests, and adventurers alike.
A generous buffet highlighting local produce fuels days of Arctic adventures and cultural discovery. Guests can ski, hike, cycle, or join dog-sledding and guided historic tours through Røros’s atmospheric streets. Evenings are best spent in the cozy Lobby Bar or over Norwegian-inspired dishes at Restaurant Bergrosa, crafted from fresh regional ingredients. With its robust facilities and prime location just steps from a mining museum, Røros Hotell is a lively and welcoming base for exploring central Norway’s cultural and landscapes.
