Southern Norway
The ornate Dalen Hotel, with its faint resonance of a stave church, and a wild-west ambience inside, first opened in 1894. Although looted by the Nazis in WWII, it remains an authentic place with public areas a riot of antiques and moose heads. Room 17 is said to be haunted.
The restaurant serves suitably old-fashioned Norwegian country cooking (mains from 210kr).
