On a wooded hillside above the Storfjord near Alesund, Storfjord Hotel is a boutique retreat of 30 rooms in handcrafted log buildings, with fire-lit local dining, a forest-side sauna and outdoor jacuzzis.
Storfjord Hotel sits on a wooded hillside above the Storfjord in western Norway, near Alesund, with views to the Sunnmore Alps, a slow-life hideaway of handcrafted log buildings among the pines. There are 30 rooms across four timber buildings, from Superior forest and fjord-view rooms up to the 88-square-metre Storfjord Suite with a fireplace and balcony, furnished with art and antiques.
Dining is rooted in forest, farm and fjord, with the fire-lit main restaurant and open kitchen, the fjordside Boathouse serving a seven-course menu over open flames, and the Lavvo forest tipi reached by a short hike, along with a Sunday brunch and wine tastings in the cellar.
Wellness is forest-side, with a Nordic sauna, outdoor jacuzzis, showers and a relaxation lounge, and massage treatments. Activities run from fjord kayaking, hiking and fjord cruises in summer to ski touring and snowshoeing in winter, with Art Nouveau Alesund close by. A member of Relais & Chateaux, it suits couples and quiet-getaway travellers who want a secluded fjord-and-forest retreat with open fires and local fine dining.
