Anno 1877
Kviknes Hotel - a Prominent Hotel of the Fjords
The Kvikne family assumed ownership of the hotel in 1877, and have owned and operated the facility to this day. 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.
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, Kviknes 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.
