Kviknes Hotel  

On the waterfront in the city centre of Balestrand, overlooking the Sognefjord. Housed in a grand 18th-century property (est. 1913) near St. Olav's Church, it’s a family-friendly, pet-friendly base within easy walking distance of local sights and fjord activities.

Historic public rooms display antiques and local art while guest rooms sit in a modern 1960s wing. Rooms have separate seating areas, work desks and flat-screen TVs; many come with balconies and direct fjord views. Simple luxury with a sturdy mix of period character and modern comforts.

Two restaurants, two bars and a coffee shop on site, plus a well-stocked wine cellar and a terrace with Sognefjord views. On-property fitness facilities, a sauna, table tennis and a kids' playroom keep guests active; organized activities include wine tastings, cultural walks and day trips. Free public parking, 24-hour reception, elevator and concierge services are available—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head out for fishing or hiking nearby.

Conference room and business centre available, with free Wi‑Fi throughout the property and 24‑hour reception to support meetings and arrivals.

The elegant main restaurant serves international cuisine with fjord views from the dining room and terrace and a notable wine cellar. Two bars and a coffee shop mean casual or refined options on site, with seafood and local flavors easy to find in nearby eateries.
