Hotel Ullensvang
Overview
Originally a “staging inn” with one straw bed over a shipping office, Hotel Ullensvang is rooted with deep Norwegian history and traditions. This property has been run by five generations of the Utne family after Hans Utne built the inn in 1846. A cabin in Lofthus near the inn was the inspiration and birthplace of the musical creations by the famous Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Little by little, the hotel was expanded and restored to the luxury property that it stands today.
Hotel Ullensvang offers over 200 guestrooms with magnificent views of the Hardanger mountain range and Fjord. The natural wonders of Hardanger make Lofthus a convenient location for guests seeking a unique outdoor and private experience.
Hotel Ullensvang, a charter member of Historic Hotels Worldwide since 2011, dates back to 1846.
