This historic family hotel at the eastern end of
town is one of the best hotel-restaurant combinations in Norway. The all-wood rooms in
the main hotel building are lovely (we especially like rooms 401 and 402 for the balconies
and views), while there are also luxurious log cabins with modern interiors and simpler,
cheaper rooms (some with good views) in the adjacent annexe. But this place is equally
famous for formerly being the home kitchen of the renowned Norwegian chef Arne Brimi.
NowunderthecareofBrimi'sprotégé,KristofferHovland,thetraditional Norwegianfood
is exquisite (lunch/dinner buffet Nkr200/375, four-/six-course dinner menu Nkr520/625;
open 1pm to 3.30pm and 7pm to 10pm). Specialities include wild trout, reindeer, elk and
ptarmigan.
