Utne Hotel

The enchanting mountaintops of the magnificent Hardangerfjord surround the charming Utne Hotel. One of the oldest hotels in Norway, the iconic Utne Hotel opened its doors to guests in 1722. The hotel’s founder was Officer Peder Larsson Børsem, who had spent the better part of a decade fighting in the Great Northern War. Børsem used his military pension to fund the creation of this majestic holiday retreat. Almost 300 years later, guests still flock to Utne Hotel for its historical authenticity and inviting ambiance. With its intricate decorative details and vast collection of antique treasures, visiting this historic hotel today is like walking into a living history book.
