OK, then something which has never been mentioned here in this forum: Hotel Union Öye, Norway, not far from the beautiful Geirangerfjord.

http://www.unionoye.no

The 27 rooms, all of which are individually furnished with carefully selected antiques, are named after notables who have stayed here: Kaiser Wilhelm, King Oscar, Queen Maud and Princess Victoria; the authors Karen Blixen, Knut Hamsun and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; the composer Edvard Grieg, playwright Henrik Ibsen and the explorer Roald Amundsen, to mention but a few.

The hotel’s three floors are each living museums. Around noon you can peer into unoccupied rooms, finding much to fascinate you – except of course a telephone or TV.
The hotel is not luxury in terms of offering 5 star service, 24h room service etc., but it is definitely a very special place to stay. I was there once for a wedding, where the couple had reserved the complete hotel. Just magic.
