Welcome to Hotesfol

Nestled on the shores of the Hardangerfjord, Hotesfol Hotel Norway has welcomed travelers since 1984. Our name, inspired by old Norse words meaning “hill by the waterfall,” reflects our intimate connection with the raw, breathtaking landscape.

We are a family‑owned hideaway that honours Norwegian traditions while embracing contemporary sustainable luxury. From our chef’s use of foraged ingredients to our geothermal heating, every detail is crafted to preserve the purity of the Arctic.
