Walaker Hotel
Walaker Hotel
Dating back to 1640, this 9th generation family-run hotel is Norway’s oldest. The hotel is surrounded by a romantic garden in the idyllic village of Svolvorn. It offers elegant rooms and beautiful views of Lustrafjord and its mountains. Walaker Hotel’s unique rooms create an old-world charm with their antique furniture, high ceilings and decorative curtains. The stylish bathrooms include a bathtub or shower, toilets and free bath products. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. A breakfast buffet is served daily and includes a mix of local products like homemade cheese, fruit juices, jams and other treats. In the evening, a 4-course menu of Norwegian dishes is served at Walaker’s Restaurant, which overlooks the fjord. In summer, afternoon coffee can be enjoyed in the garden. Guests wishing to explore the Sognefjord region can borrow bicycles at Hotel Walaker or go hiking on the Jostedalsbreen Glacier. The 12th-century Urnes Stave Church is a 30-minute ferry ride away. Other popular activities include kayaking, fishing and boat cruises on the Nærøyfjord.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.
