About Balestrand Hotel

Balestrand Hotel is a charming family-run hotel situated by the shores of the majestic Sognefjord in Balestrand, Norway.

We offer warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere, making every guest feel at home. What makes our hotel special is its unique blend of comfort and nature: the property features a large garden, a private sauna, beach access, and panoramic fjord views right from the hotel grounds. Many of our comfortable rooms include private balconies facing the fjord.

Whether you’re sipping coffee on the terrace or enjoying the sunset from your room, Balestrand Hotel provides an unforgettable fjordside experience.

Join our seasonal staff?

We are looking for seasonal workers to help run the hotel through the season (from the beginning of April until October).

Typical tasks include housekeeping, bar service, hosting, guest pick-ups, reception work and general support where needed.

Balestrand Hotel has been part of the village since 1970. Under new ownership, the hotel is being developed into a lively meeting place by the Sognefjord
– a place filled with culture, art, music, festivals and everyday gatherings.

If you are positive, reliable and enjoy creating good experiences for guests and locals, we would love to hear from you!

Sauna by the fjord

Right in front of the hotel, on the pier overlooking the fjord, you’ll find our sauna – so close to the water it almost feels like you’re floating. Warm up, relax, and take in the view – or cool down with a refreshing dip in the fjord.

Hotel guests can borrow bathrobes free of charge, while others can rent one at the reception during high season (April to September). Outside the main season, please bring your own towel and water. We kindly ask guests to avoid drinks that may leave stains in the sauna.

The sauna fits up to nine people and can be booked for private use, or visited on drop-in if you have a membership.

Host an event or rent the hotel for yourself?

Whether you’re planning a private celebration, a dinner, or something larger like a concert or show, Balestrand Hotel offers a warm and flexible setting by the fjord.

We welcome creative ideas of all kinds and will gladly help you shape and host your event.

Tell us a bit about your plans – when, how many, and what you have in mind – and we’ll take it from there.

Right next to the hotel, a new creative space is taking shape – a recording studio and artist residence designed for musicians, producers, and other creators seeking focus and inspiration by the fjord.

The building will feature studio facilities and an apartment for artists and crew – a place to stay, create, and connect in one setting.

While the studio is under construction, the hotel is available off-season for music production, writing sessions, or creative residencies.
