Kviknes Hotel - Hospitality for four generations
At Kviknes Hotel, the tradition of hospitality dates back to 1752. The Kvikne family, who now own the hotel, took over in 1877. The hotel was built in the Swiss style, and has retained its distinctive character even after several renovations and expansions. Kviknes is a modern hotel with soul and atmosphere, and with its 190 rooms it is one of the most traditional hotels in Norway. The hotel has collected a number of works of art and treasures that characterize the hotel and give it its special style.
The hotel is idyllically situated by the Sognefjord in a national romantic setting. The list of prominent guests at Kviknes Hotel is very long. Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany was a frequent guest in Balestrand. In addition, royalty, emperors, presidents, prime ministers, movie stars and artists from many countries can be found on the guest list.

Sustainability at Kviknes Hotel
For us, sustainability means managing resources as locally as possible, both in terms of our human resources and values, economy and our external environmental aspects. We are a destination that involves some travel to and from the hotel. Our focus is therefore to ensure that these journeys and the stay with us make this justifiable. If we also demand the same commitment from our partners and suppliers, we help to minimize our footprint.
