Flåmsbrygga

The Western Fjords


Right beside the dock, this modern hotel has been made to look reassuringly rustic, with wood cladding, rugs, beams and the like. All but two of the rooms have a balcony, making for some superb fjord vistas. It's a busy location, but super-handy to everything, including the attached pub and restaurant, Ægir Bryggeri.
