Fretheim Hotel
HOTEL
( 57 63 63 00;

;
s/d Nkr1195/2190; )
A haunt of fly-fishing English aristocracy in the 19th century, the vast, 122-room
Fretheim, despite its size, manages to be intimate and welcoming. In the original 1870s
building, 17 rooms have been restored to their historic selves, although with full modern
comfort, while the American wings are straight-up contemporary luxe.
The hotel will arrange and advise on walking and bike trips. Exertions over, the 3rd-
floor bar in the tower does a great range of beers and is a pleasant place to enjoy the view
(but for the very best panorama, climb the spiral staircase to the glass-floored eyrie at the
top).
