Clarion Collection Hotel Gabelshus

Frommer's Review

This member of the Clarion Collection chain may not be as first-class as its previously recommended brethren, but in some ways we prefer it because of its location. It lies a brisk 15-minute walk from the city center in a tranquil location on a tree-lined street. Since its opening as a guesthouse back in 1912, it has greatly expanded through its takeover of an adjoining building. Discreetly conservative, it looks like an English manor house, laced with climbing ivy. The public rooms are filled with antiques, art, burnished copper, and working fireplaces. Guest rooms are decorated with tasteful colors and textiles, and some have terraces. Go for one of those, of course. You'll have a choice of Scandinavian modern furniture or traditional styling. The accommodations are well maintained and equipped with double-glazed windows. Bathrooms are small but immaculate, with tub/showers.
