Nestled in the rolling hills above the Storfjord and framed by the dramatic Sunnmøre Alps, you’ll find the Storfjord Hotel. Just a whisper away from the charming coastal town of Alesund, this luxury accommodation is surrounded by Northern Norway’s breathtaking wilderness of towering peaks and crystal-clear fjords.

The Storfjord Hotel is a remote property where tranquility and adventure coexist. The hotel channels Norway’s timeless traditions through a contemporary lens.

Perched on a private island off the coast of Ålesund, which measures less than 0.6 miles in length, you’ll find an exquisite, restored lighthouse. This unique accommodation offers a peaceful retreat away from civilization in a truly unique and private setting, and embodies experiential lodging.

Bergen Børs Hotel

Tucked into the very heart of Bergen, the Bergen Børs Hotel transforms history into contemporary luxury.

Housed within the grand neo‑Renaissance, former stock‑exchange building dating from 1862, the property was reimagined by acclaimed Swedish architects Claesson Koivisto Rune. The building’s original vaulted ceilings and arched windows have been artfully fused with a minimalist, Scandi-inspired overhaul, striking a balance between old-world elegance and clean modernity.

Each of the 127 rooms and suites reflects the hotel’s past life through pinstripe wallpapers, houndstooth fabrics, sound‑proofed windows, heated floors, and original chandeliers or stained glass in select suites. The standout is the Junior Suite, which was once the exchange manager’s office, and features rich historical details alongside modern comforts.

After a day spent exploring Bergen’s vibrant streets, visiting UNESCO World Heritage Sites, or venturing out to breathtaking fjords, grand mountain peaks, and glacier-sculpted valleys, you can return to the hotel for a refined culinary experience at the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant. Centered on hyper-local ingredients and Nordic flavors, the tasting menus are as memorable as the setting.

Sorrisniva Arctic Wilderness Lodge, Alta

On the outskirts of Alta, where the Arctic wilderness stretches along the winding Alta River, Sorrisniva Arctic Wilderness Lodge offers a different perspective on Northern Norway.

Here, the landscape takes center stage, with dense forests, open skies, and shifting seasonal light creating a sense of seclusion that feels worlds away from everyday life. The lodge provides an intimate setting from which to experience the far north, combining its untamed surroundings with a distinctly contemporary approach to comfort.

The architecture reflects the understated character of Nordic design, using natural textures, clean lines, and generous windows to draw the surrounding landscape into the living spaces. Rather than competing with its setting, the lodge allows the river, forest, and changing Arctic light to shape the atmosphere.

Winter brings snow-covered trails, snowmobile expeditions into the wilderness, and opportunities to witness the northern lights far from urban light pollution.

Encounters with Sámi traditions offer a deeper understanding of the region’s cultural heritage, while the nearby Igloo Hotel reveals an extraordinary world of sculpted ice and snow. Whether venturing into the wilderness or simply watching the Arctic landscape change beyond the windows, Sorrisniva offers an experience shaped by the rare stillness and expansive beauty of the far north.

Dating back centuries, Nusfjord is one of Norway’s best-preserved fishing villages, with its historic fishermen’s cabins (‘rorbu’) carefully restored to offer a comfortable stay while retaining their original character.
