Owned and run by the same family since 1884, Hotel Alexandra boasts one of the region’s most scenic and convenient locations, overlooking the inner Nordfjord, just a five-minute drive from Loen Skylift. This is an excellent base for exploring the region’s rugged landscape through hikes, kayak trips, windsurfing, zip-lines, and scenic drives.
The hotel’s 203 rooms are light and airy, and many boast floor-to-ceiling windows that make the most of the sweeping views. The hotel has four different eateries, including Restaurant Charlotte, which serves a buffet breakfast and three-course dinners, and Markus Vinkjellar, a wine bar and restaurant in the red-brick cellars. The hotel is a good option for families, with child-friendly pools and menus, as well as suite options that sleep up to five.
OUR OPINION:
The scenic location combined with quality service from this family-run property makes this hotel a wonderful base for exploring the region, especially for families.
