Kvikne`s Hotel:

Kvikne`s Hotel

The guesthouse traditions
at Balholm extend back to
1752. The Kvikne family
assumed ownership of the
hotel in 1877, and have
owned and operated the
facility to this day.

Norwegian tourism was revolutionised in the latter half of
the 19th Century, and has been in continuous development
ever since.
The original hotel was built in the traditional "Swiss"
architectural style and despite the many phases of
expansion and restoration work, the appearance of the
building remains true to the original concept. As a result,
Kvikne's is a modern hotel with personality and "soul" and
with the atmosphere of centuries.
With 200 rooms it is also one of the largest tourist hotels
in Norway.

Over the years, the list of prominent guests has grown
exceedingly long. Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany was a
frequent guest in Balestrand, and he is accompanied on
the list by a number of 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 one of the
elements of its distinct personality
