First Hotel Breiseth

At the time of its opening in 1898, this was the most fashionable hotel in Lillehammer, and it became known as a summer gathering place for artists. Though more modern hotels are now numero uno, the Breiseth is still a winning choice. Within an easy walk of Olympia park, and also close to the bus and train terminals, its location is more convenient than panoramic. Remodeling has been very successful. However, traditional touches remain, as evidenced by the turn-of-the-20th-century public rooms, with artwork on the walls and marble pillars holding up ceilings. In winter, we always gravitate to the blazing fireplace in the parlor. Guest rooms are small to midsize but are completely fresh and tastefully furnished with many wooden pieces, along with tiled bathrooms. One wing caters specifically to those with allergies, with natural-fiber linens and a strict no-smoking-or-pets policy.
