The story
Four generations, 214 rooms, the UNESCO fjord at the doorstep
Hotel Union Geiranger opened in 1891 — originally a wooden building in the dragon style — and has been run by the same family ever since, now in its fourth generation. The setting is extraordinary even by Norwegian standards: the hotel stands at the head of the Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site where waterfalls drop hundreds of metres directly into the water and the light on the rock faces changes hourly. The veteran car collection in the museum is available with a driver for church transports, and the Mollaløa barn by the river provides an atmospheric space for group dinners.
The scale is genuinely grand: 214 guest rooms including 17 suites, the Geiranger Hall handling 100 to 500 guests, the Queen's Lounge for private gatherings, and the Union Dancing nightclub for evening receptions. Restaurant Fjorden runs a nightly buffet while Restaurant Julie offers seasonal à la carte with local ingredients. For couples who want a fjord wedding with the infrastructure to handle a large celebration, Hotel Union Geiranger is in a category of its own.
