What Makes It Special
Welcoming travelers since 1891, Union Geiranger Resort & Spa places four generations of Mjelva family hospitality in one of Norway’s most dramatic settings, overlooking the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Geirangerfjord. A 1,500-square-meter spa and panoramic fjord-and-mountain views give the historic hotel a distinctly contemporary dimension.
Details
The hotel sits in the heart of Geiranger, with the fjord, mountains and village attractions all close at hand. Geiranger Church is about a five-minute walk away, while the surrounding area opens directly onto some of the region’s most celebrated scenery, from dramatic waterfalls and mountain trails to viewpoints overlooking the fjord.
With 197 accommodations, Union Geiranger balances the scale of a historic resort with an unmistakably personal sense of place. The property’s heritage is more than decorative: its Veteran Car Museum was established by third-generation host Karl Mjelva to preserve the story of Geiranger’s early tourism, with a collection of historic cars and stories about the pioneers who helped shape the destination.
Wellness is central to the experience. The adults-only Union Spa brings together treatments, sauna rituals, relaxation areas and a Japanese hot bath overlooking the mountains, while Union Bad provides additional bathing facilities. The hotel also has a fitness room and a garden with fjord views and an outdoor pool.
Dining ranges from seasonal buffets at Restaurant Fjorden to à la carte Norwegian cuisine at Restaurant Julie, with several additional venues for drinks and more casual meals. Together, the hotel’s heritage, wellness facilities, dining and access to the Geirangerfjord allows you to immerse yourself in both the landscape and the story of this remarkable fjord village.
