Kvikne´s Hotel

The history of Kvikne’s Hotel extends back to the Holmen Inn in 1752. The Kvikne family bought the hotel, renamed Balholm, in 1877, and are running it to this day. Norwegian tourism was revolutionised in the latter half of the 19th Century, and has been developing steadily ever since.

The original hotel was built in the traditional "Swiss" architectural style and despite many waves of expansion and restoration, the appearance of the building remains true to the original concept. As a result, Kviknes is a modern hotel with personality and "soul" and with the atmosphere of centuries.

With its 190 rooms, it is also one of the largest tourist hotels in Norway. Over the years, the list of prominent hotel guests has grown exceedingly long. Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany was a frequent guest in Balestrand, along with emperors, kings, presidents, prime ministers, film stars and artists from many countries.

An impressive collection of art and historical pieces is a central feature of the hotel's interior, and contributes to its unique character.
