The surrounding area is ideal for skiing, hiking, and bird watching, but boat trips can also be arranged on Hardanger Fjord. Syse and Uppheim can be reached by car for farm visits, while the bathing beach of Holmen and its sports grounds (in the city centre) are only a few minutes away. Nearby lies the Ulvik Waterskiing Club. Guests can go to the Tourist Office to hire bicycles for exploring the outlying areas.

The elegant restaurant is spacious and enjoys fabulous views over the fjord.

The actual reception desk is small, but adjoins a spacious conservatory with various lounges and seating areas looking out to the fjord.

The hotel is classical in style with a white facade and gabled roof. First impressions are of splendid grandeur.
