Brekkestranda Fjordhotell

Brekkestranda Fjordhotell (historically Brekkestranda Fjordhotel, originally Brekkestranda Fjordpensjonat) is a hotel located in Gulen Municipality, at the outer edge of the Sognefjord in Norway. It was opened in 1970 by Ingeborg I. Brekke as a fjord guesthouse. Her son Bjørn Brekke joined the operation in 1975 and became owner in 1996. In 2008 Morten Nilsen bought the hotel. The hotel is known for its unusual architecture, designed by architect Bjørn Simonnæs, with almost no right angles in the buildings. The structures have turf roofs, cladding of rough hewn boards, and columns of debarked round timber. The hotel has been expanded several times and today has 30 rooms with walls of Norwegian pine, a three-part restaurant, its own boat harbour, and a nine-hole golf course. In 2008 plans were made to build 80 holiday homes next to the hotel. As of the official website, the hotel is closed for careful restoration and will reopen in spring 2027, with booking opening from November 2026. The site invites visitors to leave their email to be notified when booking becomes available.
