Welcome to the old Swiss hotel in Seljestad! With four floors filled with history and charm, there's plenty to explore. Here you can follow in the footsteps of Edvard Grieg, take a mountain hike right from the doorstep, or simply relax in front of the fireplace.
The interior is a perfect blend of old and new. The basement living room is large and cozy, with an open fireplace, bar and TV. On the main floor, there is a large living room with sofa and dining room furniture and a wood-burning stove. The main living room is probably the gathering place that everyone gravitates to, but the small blue lounge is a good relief if you want to play a game of chess or just relax with a book. The kitchen is large and well equipped - two stoves, a microwave and a food processor. The industrial washing machine makes heavy dishwashing a breeze. On the main floor there is also a bedroom, a large bathroom, a separate shower + women's and men's toilet.
2.the second floor contains 11 bedrooms. Here you will find the 'Grieg Suite' - the room where Edvard Grieg spent several summers at the end of the 19th century. The rooms vary in size and expression. Cots/cribs are available. The attic floor is mainly used for storage and carpentry, but the hosts have set up a table tennis table there, so you can enjoy a game of table tennis.
Outside you can enjoy the fresh mountain air. The cabin is in a great location for hiking in the mountains in both summer and winter. In summer, you can swim in the Stølselva river or Løyningsvatnet lake, and pick blueberries and cloudberries. In winter, it's within walking distance to the ski trails of Seljestad and Røldal løypeselskap.
There is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. It's a short drive to Odda, where you'll find shopping, a power museum, cafés and much more. Odda is also the starting point for the popular hike to Trolltunga.
Ski in/ski out: Cross-country ski trails right outside the cabin.
Ski resorts nearby: approx. 10 min to Røldal Skisenter.

Hello, we are Ole and I, the owners of this charming Swiss hotel. Together with our extended family and some friends, we restored this old hotel between 2003 and 2012. We have had many wonderful times here, both during the restoration and afterwards. We have celebrated all the Christmas holidays here, all the Easter holidays, and use the place a lot both winter and summer. It has been a popular place to celebrate big birthdays, have family reunions and we have also had two wedding parties. We rent out the entire hotel to large families, or several families who want to go on vacation together. Welcome to the hotel!
