Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri


Overview
Nature surrounds the historic hotel Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri, which opened in the late 17th century. It was established in response to a 16th century decree that there should be a gjestgiveri, a guesthouse, built at every location within a full day’s journey to sea. At the heart of a fishing village, the Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri earned its reputation as being one of Norway’s most acclaimed hotels and has been taking in guests for more than 300 years.
At Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri, the staff is focused on providing guests with the best reception and service. Located just off the beaten path, this 48-room hotel offers serenity and balconies or patios to enjoy the charming local landscape. All guestrooms include a complimentary breakfast, as well as access to a fitness center, attached winery, and a boat dock. The hotel offers lovely scenery with the sea and its long history as a backdrop. Dining options include a restaurant and coffee shop. With an impressive outdoor terrace, the hotel serves meals seasonally to be enjoyed in the warmer months. Other guest services include a shared lounge, spa, and bicycle rentals.
The Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri is nestled in the small village of Bekkjarvik on Norway's western coast, situated in the Austevoll municipality in Hordaland County. Though small, the village of Bekkjarvik is filled with personality. This quiet locale is a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. In addition to the hotel's recreational activities, guests can explore beyond on foot or by ferry. Some notable local attractions to explore include the Villa Lysøen, home to Norwegian violin-virtuoso Ole Bull, and the Kvalvåg marina.
Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri, a member of Historic Hotels Worldwide since 2018, dates back to the late 17th century.
