Thon Hotel Sandven  

By the fjord in the heart of Norheimsund, Hardanger — an idyllic, historic setting with maritime vibes. Minutes from Norheimsund Harbour and close to Hardanger Maritime Museum, Steinsdalfossen Waterfall and the Ingebrigt Vik Museum, this spot puts iconic Hardanger attractions at your doorstep.

Housed in a late-19th-century building, the hotel blends old-world charm and modern comfort and carries the Olavsrosa heritage distinction. There are 102 guestrooms with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, mini-bars and private bathrooms with showers and complimentary toiletries. Expect daily housekeeping, an elevator for accessibility and a relaxed, character-rich vibe — think fjord-side mornings and friendly, historic rooms.

On-site restaurant, café and a bar/lounge set the scene for casual meals and evening drinks. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, plus a sun terrace, 24-hour front desk and free self-parking for guests. The hotel also provides practical touches like press and a doctor service when needed.

Conference space, meeting and presentation facilities on-site and complimentary wireless internet make this a convenient choice for meetings and small events.

Enjoy breakfast on-site before heading out. The hotel’s restaurant and café serve guests during the day, while a nearby seafood spot, Kaffimat, highlights the region’s fresh catch for authentic Hardanger flavors.
