Opened in 1894, Dalen Hotel is a historic fairytale hotel, known for its grand romantic dragon-style architecture with towers, spires, balconies, and intricate wooden details. Over the years, it has welcomed kings, queens, and international guests, offering a glimpse of Norway’s rich cultural and architectural heritage.

Combining a visit to the Dalen Hotel with sailing the Telemark Canal with MS Henrik Ibsen and MS Victoria is a unique historical journey back in time with modern comfort and service.

The hotel is open from mid-February to mid-December. The ships traffic the Telemark Canal on a daily basis from late May to late September. Please contact the hotel for exact dates.

We are pleased to welcome you to one of Norway’s oldest wooden hotels, only 400 m from Dalen Pier, the end station of the Telemark Canal, with easy access to the hotel.
