Hotel Alexandra

Hotel Alexandra is at Lodalsvegen 22 in Loen, a village on the Nordfjord in the Stryn municipality of Vestland county, Norway. It is a large resort hotel and one of the best-known accommodation options in the Nordfjord area. The location is close to the base station of the Loen Skylift, a cable car that climbs to the Hoven viewpoint high above the fjord, and the Loen valley leads toward Lovatnet lake and the Kjenndalen glacier arm of the Jostedalsbreen. Visitors also use Loen as a starting point for the Geirangerfjord road, glacier walks and the Briksdalsbreen area, and the nearest larger town is Stryn. Rooms are offered as standard, superior and suite categories, and many have fjord views. The hotel's main facility is the Alexandra Bath and Spa, which includes indoor and outdoor pools, giving guests a place to relax after hiking or sightseeing. Several restaurants and a bar are on the premises, and the buffet-style dining is well known in the region, with menus featuring fjord fish, lamb and local produce. Wi-Fi is available. The service character is that of a full-service resort, welcoming families, tour groups, couples and conference guests, and the staff can organise activities such as glacier excursions, kayaking and Skylift tickets. Published rates run roughly 1,700 to 3,600 NOK per night, depending on season and category, and summer is the busiest period, when coach tours and cruise passengers visit the area. Because the hotel is large, the atmosphere is livelier than at the small guesthouses of the Nordfjord, and quiet rooms can be requested. The property suits those who want spa facilities and a range of dining options in a mountain and fjord setting without needing to travel to a larger town.
