Energihotellet

Top choice in Bergen & the Southwestern Fjords


Now here's something you don't get to do every day – sleep in a disused 1960s power station. Designed by architect Geir Grung as part of the Røldal-Suldal hydropower plant, this brutalist building has been reinvented as a boutique hotel, with clean, minimal design echoing the stark, concrete structure. Rooms are stylish and most overlook Suldalsvatnet Lake.

There's an excellent New Nordic restaurant, as well as a sauna and an outdoor heated pool in summer. The hotel is near the village of Nesflaten, about 28km south of Røldal.
