Hordatun Hotel

Bergen & the Southwestern Fjords


You can't possibly miss this striking hotel, a concrete curve laid out in a horseshoe shape with balconies overlooking Lake Røldalsvatnet. It's an uncompromisingly modern structure that won't be to everyone's taste, but the views are fantastic, and the rooms are smart, if slightly functional: basic furniture, wood floors, plate-glass windows. Suites and loft rooms come with cool mezzanines.

There's a decent restaurant downstairs (mains 199kr to 299kr).
