Why we love it

Legend has it that the Blue Room is haunted, and even comes with its own silver platter of garlic to encourage an encounter should you wish!
The list of past guests is rather impressive including Karen Blixen, Kaiser Wilhelm and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
A short drive from Geiranger fjord one of the most famous in the region and a must see.
