About

In Balestrand, beautifully located beside the Sognefjord, lies Kviknes Hotel. The Kvikne family have been the hosts here since 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. 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.

 

Beautiful hotel in the centre of Balestrand. 190 rooms, most with balcony and fjord view. 10 demi-suites in the main building. Conference facilities for 200. Dining room for up to 400 guests. Evening buffet and a la carte menu. International cuisine. Local ingredients used as far as possible. Fully licensed. Well stocked wine cellar. Balholm Bar serves a la carte meals.
