5. Clarion Collection Gabelshus – Oslo
Located in a charming and historic building that’s complete with lush ivy growing on the outside, the Clarion Collection Gabelshus is an absolutely charming establishment. It’s a fairly small hotel that offers 114 rooms in total, yet it feels like a luxurious manor. The Clarion Collection maintains many properties in Norway, but we like the Gabelshus the best. In keeping with the exterior, the interior of the hotel is very historic and filled with elegant furniture, antiques, and various paintings. If you want a hotel that makes you feel like you’re special, then definitely look into the Clarion Collection Gabelshus.

4. Solstrand Hotel & Bad – Osoyro
About 18 miles south of Bergen is the small town of Osoyro. It is there that we find the beautiful and serene hotel known as the Solstrand Hotel & Bad. Located just next to the fjord, the Solstrand Hotel & Bad is certainly very charming and it feels like a Norwegian chateau, if such a thing could exist. The hotel offers 135 luxury rooms and suites, a pool, access to the beach, a fitness center, a restaurant, a bar/lounge, a spa, and more. The hotel also is situated on a large plot of land and there are plenty of gazebos and gardens to explore. If you need a vacation away from the city life, the Solstrand Hotel & Bad is ideal.

3. The Thief – Oslo
While charming hotels out in the country are great, sometimes you want a sophisticated, modern, and up-scale hotel to satisfy your luxury needs. Located in Oslo, The Thief is a five-star luxury boutique and design hotel that’s certainly very swanky. You’ll find 119 rooms and suites here, all of which are extremely stylish and design-focused. The property managers put a good amount of emphasis on perfection here, and The Thief is sure to please as no detail has been overlooked.

2. Hotel Ullensvang – Lofthus
Situated right on a lake that is surrounded by incredible mountains, Hotel Ullensvang is an easy pick for when examining the most gorgeous and beautiful hotels in Norway. The hotel can trace its origins back to the mid-1800’s, and has very much kept up with tradition over the years. The four-star property is essentially a resort and it offers a few restaurants, a couple bars, a wine tasting room, a luxurious spa, and 168 beautifully appointed rooms and suites.

1. Dalen Hotel – Dalen
Finally the last hotel on our list is the Dalen Hotel, as it is yet another standout hotel in Norway that is absolutely beautiful. It’s been nicknamed the “fairytale hotel”, and it is a romantic and historic property that was first constructed in 1894. Its rich history has provided the Dalen Hotel with a certain vibe that cannot be replicated elsewhere. It’s beautiful and luxurious, and reminiscent of the turn of the century. This five-star property is not only filled with all the amenities and features that you could want, there are also only just 42 rooms in total. This means the Dalen Hotel is more intimate and private than others, making it perfect for a romantic getaway. Plus, the area isn’t too bad looking either.
