Don’t have time to read it now? Save it for later!

Norway has some of the most gorgeous landscapes in the world, they also have some of the most beautiful designs- put that together and you get some absolutely insane places to stay in Norway! 

Nordic design is minimal, modern and clean with a cozy twist and layers of textures. Hygge meaning “a quality of coziness, contentment and comfortability” has a huge influence on nordic interior design. 

You will find, especially in the North, that this is important in the design of interiors, especially since much of the year will be spent in darkness and the cold. 

My personal favorite part of Nordic Design is their ability to take advantage of their natural surroundings. 

You will find in many of these hotels and cabins that there are large glass windows looking out over large mountain ranges, cabins built high up to take advantage of the views, and lodges nestled into the forest. 

This connection to nature is one of the best parts about Norway!

Here are 15 Unique Places to Stay In Norway that will take your breath away!
