Junior suites feature separate bedrooms and bathroom areas, whilst the family suite accommodates more people with two bedrooms and a den. All guestrooms include televisions, internet access, radios and standard hotel amenities and most rooms command private balconies with mountain, fjord or orchard views, whilst rooms on the north end of the property command Hardangerfjord views.
