Location
Historic Accommodation in
Balestrand, Sognefjord Area
The history of Kvikne’s Hotel extends back to the Holmen Inn in 1752. The
Kvikne family bought the hotel, renamed Balholm, in 1877, and are running it
to this day. Norwegian tourism was revolutionized in the latter half of the
19th Century, and has been developing steadily ever since.
The original hotel was built in the traditional "Swiss" architectural style
and despite many waves of expansion and restoration, 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 its 190 rooms, it is also one of the largest tourist hotels in Norway.
Over the years, the list of prominent hotel guests has grown exceedingly
long. Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany was a frequent guest in Balestrand,
along with 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 contributes to its unique character.
At Kvikne's Hotel we offer accommodation with balcony view of the
Sognefjord. We take pride in offering quality hotel accommodation and we
want to welcome you to the Sognefjord area!
