Hotels in Hordaland

For many, Hordaland is the Norway of postcards and dreams. This western county is defined by the deep, dramatic cuts of its fjords, with the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord and Hardangerfjord as its star attractions. Visitors come to hike the legendary Trolltunga rock formation for that iconic photo, explore the historic Bryggen wharf in Bergen, and feel the spray from the powerful Vøringsfossen waterfall. It’s a region built for outdoor adventure, from glacier walking on the Folgefonna ice cap to kayaking through serene, mountain-lined waters.

Bergen, Hordaland’s charming urban heart, is the most practical base, with its compact, walkable city center and excellent transport links. The neighborhoods around Bryggen and the Fløibanen funicular are ideal for first-time visitors and couples, offering easy access to restaurants and historic sites. The region suits everyone: active solo travelers tackling the mountains, families enjoying the Fløien playground, and business travelers utilizing Bergen’s airport and conference facilities. Efficient ferries and scenic railways connect you to the wider fjord landscape.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find 18 hotels across Hordaland, with a strong selection in Bergen itself. The options are diverse, ranging from functional, budget-friendly city hotels and modern business chains to a handful of distinctive boutique properties housed in historic buildings. For a truly immersive experience, consider a traditional fjord-side lodge or a family-run guesthouse deeper in the countryside for your stay.
