Storfjord Hotel

Storfjord Hotel

Twenty three rooms, ten kilometres from the centre of Orskog, and a fireplace going indoors while the garden and terrace sit on the other side of the glass. Storfjord Hotel is a place you drive to and then stop driving: there is parking, electric car charging, car rental and a transfer service, and once you have arrived the day is shaped by what is outside the door. Hiking and fishing start here, the bicycles are free to borrow, and in winter there is a ski school with rental equipment, storage and passes. Rooms are soundproofed and smoke free, some are allergy free, and room service covers the evenings you would rather not come down. The restaurant and bar are on site, along with a common kitchen, a diet menu on request and packed lunches for a day out. The wellness side is unusually complete for a house of 23 rooms: sauna, hammam, massage, solarium. A library handles the hours when the weather decides for you. The chapel on the grounds is the detail no amenity list prepares you for. Free Wi-Fi, a business centre and a conference hall mean a small working group fits without much friction, though anyone who wants to walk out of a lobby into a city will find those ten kilometres in the way. Check in from two, out by noon. Come with a car and boots, and let the fireplace take care of the rest. Storfjord Hotel has 23 rooms ten kilometres outside Orskog, with a restaurant, bar, sauna, hammam and bicycles free to borrow. Hiking and fishing start at the door, and a ski school runs in winter. There is also a chapel on the grounds.
