More than a hotel in a forest of Norway, imagine a hotel literally made of the forest of Norway, and then shaped meticulously by our years of experience on the exquisite sophistication of luxury travel. It is a place to marvel at the uniqueness of Norway, facing the deep fjord, facing the steep mountains, rediscovering your own self. Storfjord Hotel is a member of the prestigious National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World as well as the Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

Storfjord Hotel is a secluded luxury boutique hotel situated in Glomset, on a hillside overlooking the Storfjord and the Sunnmøre Alps. Behind the handcrafted log walls awaits an experience you will not find anywhere else. At Storfjord Hotel you will find tranquillity and relaxation. Take in the familiar scent of timber, and enjoy looking at works of art and carefully selected antiques. Sit comfortably in designer furniture while drinking coffee and enjoy the magnificent view. The hotel stands on a wooded hillside that enjoys a splendid panorama of the Storfjord. While the view itself is well worth a visit, you will enjoy this beautiful haven from hectic life. The rooms at Storfjord Hotel are spacious and a comfortable place to stay. An inspiration where Norwegian traditions meets modern design. Welcome home.

The hotel was hand-built, with a passion for detail, in the traditional, time-proven, “laftehytte” Norwegian-style. The same massive logs that speak of rugged forest on the outside, speak of cradled comfort on the inside. A place so magical you’ll catch yourself deep into the lost art of staring at the wall, your imagination unwrapping all the little Nordic secrets of deep forests and countless seasons on those wooden knots and veins. All rooms have their own unique spacious, and luxurious personality – come to your window, look outside… find the stillness of the fjord, the ridges of the mountains, the contours of the forest. All this will be yours.

If you wish for more than contemplating the extraordinary view, you can hike, boat, fly, kayak, swim into the most exquisite natural scenery of the world, at our invitation. There are many hiking trails by the Hotel, or within 10 minutes of driving, the kayaks and boats are 5 minutes away in our private pier, and either in the forest or by the shore you’ll be experiencing fjord-land at its unique best.

Within ten miles of the Storfjord, an international wonder can be found. The Geiranger Fjord, with the Seven Sisters waterfall draping its sheer cliff face, is an awe-inspiring site, and the Storfjord will be happy to arrange a bespoke sail along these waters. Above the Geirangerfjord and the Storfjord, the Sunnmore Alps await intrepid hikers, and the Storfjord Hotel will be glad to arrange bespoke hiking tours throughout the area with private guides. The local waters around the town of Alesund are filled with rich schools of northern fish, and a private charter will take you out with rod and reel, or perhaps just a visit to the town center for a day trip.

The mountains of the Norwegian coast of course remain a great attraction for visitors, and the Storfjord can provide bespoke charters of helicopter tours of the area, along with shorter hikes throughout the local area, including the national park that contains the Geiranger Fjord. A long day of exploration can be completed with a four course dinner from the Storfjord’s gourmet kitchen, featuring our locally brewed ale. The Storfjord offers a classic luxury experience, and it is dedicated to offering adventures in the Norwegian forests in a comfortable setting, and providing its guests with joyous bespoken journeys.

The old town of Ålesund is divided by a channel connecting two fjords and Hotel Brosundet lies in the middle, on the west side. Both buildings hail to the times all fishing trade happened in the center of town. You will be staying at an historical site – one of them listed – and experiencing the curious mix of the Norwegian sophisticated modern life and the charming quirks of a lost, simpler time.

Hotel Brosundet offers a different experience. As an intimate, family owned hotel our watchful hosts will take care of every single guest. We believe in creating experiences satisfying all senses-paying attention to what is seen, heard, smelled, tasted and felt. From the delicate interior design, stunning artwork, antique beams to fresh local seafood all in company with the locals which has Hotel Brosundet as one of their favorite spots in town. Our passion is to preserve the buildings as they originally were warehouses and significant to the fishery in small town Ålesund. As soon as you enter the hotel you will find inspirational design combined with an authentic story to tell. The outer walls of the hotel extend directly into the waters of Brosundet, Ålesund true town center. Welcome home

The 131 rooms are spread over two historical buildings (and one lighthouse – room 47), which originally interfaced the fishing boats and the city. The old wood, the slightly tilted floors, the sounds of the sea, the hints of Nordic design, all conspire to the serious love affair between past and future, also known as norwegianness.

Ålesund is a door, a window, a gateway between the ocean and the fjords. Destroyed by a fire in 1904, it reinvented itself into a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Art Nouveau architecture. It is a natural port for shipping and fishing since the times of the Vikings – come with us, we’ll help you understand why.

In quiet luxury, experience the unique connection to the rugged nature in the outer islands, a dozen minutes from downtown Ålesund. Owner’s Cabin in Staurneset is the perfect island experience in the fjords – in Giske, the land of Viking nobility, often visited by orcas and inhabited by seals, sea birds, and arguably the happiest cows in the planet. World famous artists know its secrets and come to Giske to the world-famous recording studio within sight of your Cabin. All minutes away from the center of Ålesund.

Owner’s Cabin is surrounded by untouched land with direct access to the sea, a white sandy beach to your right, charming rocky tide pools to your left, as you stare north into the rugged Nordic sea. Your horizon will be dotted by the peaks of Sunnmøre Alps, so tall as to remain white well into August. This is the cabin of the owners of 62N, and it thus is decorated with an eye to elegant design, Nordic comfort, rich in tactile senses and visual simplicity. The cabin has 4 bedrooms with king-sized beds, one bathroom, spacious dining room and kitchen, open fireplace in the living-room.

When you stay at Owner’s Cabin, you can simplify your life by enlisting the services of our own private chef, who will be sure to recreate for you the unique Norwegian culinary experiences that will make your Norwegian “hytte kultur” (cabin life-style) experience even more memorable.

Giske island’s small size and comparatively gentle landscape does not betray the unique part it has played in the history of Norway, as home to noble Viking families whose fame extended far beyond these shores. It is perfect for outings – bike to see the curious mix of well-tended farms and swathes of wild forest, kayak to experience the uniqueness of the North Sea – often visited by orcas, always inhabited by seals, a gem of the great North.

The kitchen at Storfjord Hotel, is renowned for its passion for local food. Every day we present an unpretentious gourmet fine dining experience to our guests. Storfjord Hotel is proud of cooperating with the finest local producers. It is with a great passion for the craftsmanship, we serve the best of local produce Norway has to offer. We want our guests to experience the taste of Storfjord. This is reflected in everything we serve at the hotel. Enjoy your evening in the hotel dining room with views towards the mountains and the fjord. Storfjord Hotel is famous for its fine collection of cheese from local producers, and Storfjordbrygg which is our own locally brewed Ale only to be served at Storfjord Hotel.

Our chef bends time and warps space to procure the best local seafood, produce and game, on a quest to make each of your meals an uncompromising experience into fine gourmet Nordic dining. Our aim is that the memory of Storfjord Hotel will reside forever on your taste buds.

The ground floor of the green building of Brosundet Hotel houses one of the best restaurants in town – the Apotekergata No.5 – with what its creative chefs called a “topographic menu”: an exquisite gourmet meal with organic produce sourced in our fjords, ranging from the bottom of the sea to the top of the mountain. Ålesund being Ålesund, you may witness the chef opening the window to buy fresh prawns directly from the local fishing boats. In Brosundet Hotel you’ll also find an exquisite food bar (Butikken) with fresh oysters and cold champagne at all times, as well as the Arkivet Bar – vintage cocktails, curated beers and a richly populated wine cellar. In the Summer you can choose to eat local seafood outdoors, at the Lekteren. Check our activities calendar for more on special events.
