Solstrand Hotel & Bad is a storied spa hotel on the Bjørnafjorden, just 30 kilometers south of Bergen. Originally built in 1896 as a holiday retreat for Bergen’s merchant class, Solstrand has evolved into one of western Norway’s premier wellness destinations while retaining its historic charm and fjord-side setting.
The wellness center overlooks the fjord and includes a sauna, steam bath, icy plunge pool, indoor swimming pool, therapy pool, outdoor pool, and a fitness room. Thirteen spa treatment rooms offer massages, body wraps, baths, and facials. The pools and saunas are open daily from 07:00 to 22:00 and are available to hotel guests and those who have booked a spa treatment.
The combination of historic architecture, fjord views, and comprehensive spa facilities makes Solstrand a destination in its own right. The hotel also offers excellent dining and is a popular base for exploring the Os area. Advance booking of a spa treatment is the easiest way for non-hotel guests to access the pools and saunas.
