Undoubtedly Arendal's best hotel, the Clarion combines a prime waterfront position in a restored old dockside building that emulates Tyholmen's old-world ambience. Rooms in the original wing are the most atmospheric, and have ridiculously lovely views, as do the corner suites in the new wing. The hotel restaurant is a relaxed and stylish option too.
