Brakanes Hotel  

On the quiet shores of the Hardangerfjord in Ulvik — a family-friendly beach hotel in the town center, a one-minute drive from Ulvik Church and minutes from fjord excursions and mountain trails. Private beach access gives it real fjordfront appeal.

142 comfortable guestrooms feature flat-screen TVs, desks and bathrooms with tubs or showers; cribs/infant beds are available for a surcharge. The property pairs welcoming reception rooms with a restaurant offering panoramic fjord views, all set amid mountains and orchards.

Private beach with rowing boats and kayaks, indoor pool, sauna and steam bath, gym and solarium (extra charge), tennis court, nightclub, arcade and children's playroom. Garden, terrace and gift shops round out the on-site offerings — wake up to misty fjord mornings.

Full conference centre (up to 500), meeting rooms and a business center, plus a 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff. Free self-parking, transfer service and elevator make group events and conferences easy.

On-site restaurant serves local Hardanger cuisine with panoramic fjord views, supported by two bars and lounges. Buffet breakfasts are available for a fee (weekdays 07:00–10:00; weekends 07:00–10:30).
