About the company

Down by the ferry terminal in the tiny waterfront village Utne, surrounded by a charming garden with white picket fences and a stunning view of fjords and mountains, lies one of Norway’s oldest and best- preserved wooden hotels – Utne hotel. At this hotel little moments become memorable, and a state of simple presence and beingness is in the air. The quintessential feeling of idyllic grandmother nostalgia hits you as soon as you touch the door handle. It is like coming home. Here you are welcomed with a warm and genuine smile. All the 17 rooms at Utne hotel are unique with historical features, furniture and styles. They all have modern and tiled ensuite bathrooms. The rooms can all be used as twin/ double/ single rooms. Some of the rooms have a view towards the fjord/ waterfront and others face the quiet back garden. None of the rooms have a television. This has been done in order to preserve the quaint and historical atmosphere, and to encourage evening chats or the reading of a good book. With a love for fresh seasonal produce and local food traditions Utne hotel invites you on a culinary journey. Veal from Folkedal and lamb from Hardanger taste delicious for dinner. The ramson is picked at Aga and the apples used in the apple cake come from the nearby fruit farms. The homemade jam tastes divine and so does the krotekake.
