Discover the fairytale Swiss Chalet façade of Visnes Hotel Stryn. During the interwar period, the Visnes family expanded the hotel and launched an exterior renovation that transformed the façade. Architectural features typical of the famous Swiss Chalet style were added, including gabled roofs, wide eaves, balconies, large windows, and white weatherboarding.

Admire the Art Nouveau-inspired wallpaper and tapestries adorning the walls of the hotel. Each design is unique and representative of Jugendstil, an artistic style that featured Art Nouveau designs and arose in the mid-1890s and continued through the first decade of the 20th century. Floral patterns dominate in various pale shades, with some featuring the artistic renderings of ascending flowers and stems forming straight parallel lines typical of the Art Nouveau period.

Enjoy the view from the hotel’s front porch. Overlooking a small bay off the main Nordfjorden in western Norway’s stunning fjord landscape, Visnes Hotel Stryn boasts impressive scenery. Guests can sip their morning coffee or evening aperitif while admiring the stunning surroundings.
