Juvet Landscape Hotel

Juvet, which calls itself a "landscape hotel", aims to be different from other design hotels in that it showcases the nature that surrounds it rather than focusing on its own architecture. The hotel was designed by Oslo-based firm Jensen & Skodvin who say that their intention was to give the feeling that you're outside even though you're protected inside.

The hotel consists of nine detached rooms that are sited separately, each with a unique perspective on the rugged landscape. In addition, there is the opportunity to stay in the old buildings on the farm – the mill house, the barn and the authentically restored farmhouse.

The nine wood-panelled cabins are scattered throughout the woods, to reach some of the cabins, you'll need to traverse a curved, steel bridge that hovers above the rapids. Every room in the cabins has floor-to-ceiling windows. The transparent walls are angled in different directions, maximizing light as well as privacy.

In the evenings, dinner (available on request) is served at precisely 8 pm around a large table in the former cow barn - guests mingle before being seated at the large communal table where a menu is served - all sourced naturally and prepared in the farmhouse style.

Noteworthy

In 2014, Alex Garlands film, Ex Machina, was partly shot on location at the Juvet Landscape Hotel and features prominently as the house of one of the main characters (a tech billionaire).
