With roots tracing to a simple inn built in 1869, Havila Hotel Geiranger sits directly on the UNESCO World Heritage Geirangerfjord waterfront — 151 rooms, a seasonal restaurant serving local ingredients, and a panoramic seventh-floor terrace overlooking the fjord. The venue can accommodate up to 150 guests for your wedding celebration.

The story

A 150-year-old fjord hotel, renovated room by room, on the UNESCO waterfront

Havila Hotel Geiranger occupies ground that has welcomed travellers since 1869, when Martinus Merok built a simple lodging house at the foot of the fjord. The building has been extended and connected over 150 years, joined by bridge to the former Hotel Geiranger in 1995 and taken over by Havila in 2020, who have been renovating room by room since. Today 151 rooms face the Geirangerfjord — a UNESCO World Heritage site of cascading waterfalls and sheer rock faces that feels, even to seasoned fjord travellers, like something out of proportion with ordinary experience.

Restaurant Skageflå, named for the abandoned mountain farm visible from the water, runs May to October with a kitchen philosophy of 'calm and nature-close' dining — local ingredients, pure flavours, the view doing the rest. The seventh-floor terrace is the obvious setting for a ceremony or reception drink, panoramic from any angle. For couples drawn to the Geirangerfjord's particular drama and the continuity of a place with 150 years of hospitality history, Havila offers a genuine waterfront alternative to the valley's other main hotel.
