A Seaside Classic in a Painter’s Paradise.
Located right on the waterfront in the charming coastal town of Åsgårdstrand, Grand Hotel offers a peaceful and scenic stay for cyclists and summer guests alike. With its stunning sea views, white wooden houses, and narrow streets, this small town has inspired artists for generations — including Edvard Munch. The hotel itself is full of history and atmosphere, with bright, airy rooms and a beautiful terrace overlooking the Oslofjord. Just steps from the hotel, you’ll find swimming spots, a marina, galleries, and cafés, all wrapped in the quiet charm of southern Norway.
Åsgårdstrand is an ideal stop for those cycling the Kystruta (National Cycle Route 1), offering both relaxation and inspiration along the way. Whether you’re here for a refreshing swim, a stroll by the sea, or a good night’s sleep after a long ride, Grand Hotel provides the perfect base. With its warm hospitality and idyllic surroundings, it’s easy to understand why this little town is considered one of the true gems along Norway’s coastline.
