The Best Hotels Near Bro, by the Record
-
A boutique hotel in a classic harbourside building in Ålesund, where the wood beams and original architecture stayed and someone brought in a fireplace and cozy furniture to keep them company. Rooms range from snug to spacious, with some facing the water. Downstairs there's a small restaurant, a craft cocktail bar, and afternoon tea with live music, which is either charming or a lot, depending on the day. It holds a Michelin Key.

Built in traditional lafta style from whole stacked timbers, Storfjord Hotel is a luxury boutique property set inside thousands of acres of protected woodland on the west Norwegian coast. Every room has a balcony over the fjord and the mountains, the interiors run to antiques and classic Norwegian furnishings, and the dining room puts out a locally sourced four-course dinner each night. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys. Ålesund Airport, with direct flights from London and Oslo, is forty minutes away.

Glass-walled wooden cabins set into a Norwegian forest, each one oriented so the trees fill an entire wall, floor to ceiling. If that framing sounds familiar, it's because Ex Machina filmed here. The Michelin Key-holding hotel sits an hour and a half inland from Ålesund, and the spa bathhouse frames a bend in the river like a painting someone forgot to hang. Evenings end around a communal dinner built from local ingredients, which suits the mood entirely.
