StorFjord Hotel

At just six guest rooms, it doesn't get more boutique than the secluded StorFjord Hotel, family owned and operated since its founding. The single building sits on six acres of private land overlooking the Sunnmore Alps, just a short hop from the town of Alesund. With this beautiful setting and the thoughtful warmth of the staff, the StorFjord soon feels like your very own Norwegian country home.

The StorFjord Hotel features traditional "Lafta" construction, stacked logs interwoven and insulated with lambswool. In keeping with the rooms' simple decor, the fine woodgrain of the logs remains largely exposed; the result is a warm glow that fills your room as the sun hits the timbers.

There's plenty to do at this idyllic northern escape. Mountain bike, kayak, go fishing in the river for salmon, tour the fjords, or enjoy spa services like Thai massage and aromatherapy. Evening brings the hotel's sumptuous three-course dinners, nutritious and made to suit any dietary needs.
