Grand Hotel Bellevue

The Northern Fjords


Looming over town, this large hotel dates back to the 1800s but renovation has brought it nicely up to date. Mountain murals adorn the walls in the light, white rooms, and while they're not huge, nearly all 86 have views. The restaurant serves a rather starchy dinner (mains 275kr to 345kr) Monday to Saturday.
