"The hotel sits at the edge of the tiny hamlet of Ăye, surrounded by high, jagged peaks and a short walk from the shores of Norangsfjord, a tributary of the larger Hjorundfjord. The nearest major town, and gateway to the SunnmĂžre Alps, is Ă lesund which has a regional airport. Guests are encouraged to make their arrival at Hotel Union Ăye an exciting part of their journey, hence the preferred route in is either by boat to a small jetty on the fjord or by helicopter to a landing pad beside the hotel. Either way affords a scenic feast for the eyes. Arrival by road (two hours from Alesund) takes longer and, though equally impressive in landscape, lacks the same wow factor. The backstory The quaint, red and cream half-timbered exterior of Hotel Union Ăye, with its decorative fish scale roof and fanciful wooden latticework, belies the fact that it is fundamentally a prefabricated building, designed by Norwegian architect and industrialist Christian Thams in the late 19th century and delivered by ship to be assembled as a hotel in 1891. Various embellishments have been added to the hotel over the years, not least during the major refurbishment of 2022, which saw the arrival of the new Conservatory restaurantâalso a prefabricated building, in a gentle nod to the past. An illustrious roll call of guests has been drawn to Union Ăye over the years, inspired by the landscape, an indefatigable sense of adventure and the clean Norwegian air. Karen Blixen, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Henrik Ibsen all loved this spot, as did Queen Maud of Norway, the composer Edvard Grieg and Kaiser Wilhelm II, who liked to turn up with his own bath in tow. A new chapter opened, however, in 2009 when the hotel was bought by the Flakk family, keen environmentalists and pioneers of sophisticated travel experiences in Norway under brand name 62°Nord. Storfjord Hotel, a self-styled âslow life hideawayâ forty minutesâ drive from Ă lesund, and Hotel Brosundet in Ă lesund itself, are also in the Flakkâs fold, to which will soon be added a new brand of less refined, less luxurious âbase campâ hotels, plus an exciting hotel project in Oslo. Watch this space. The rooms Thereâs a museum-like quality to the 24 bedrooms in the main building where decorative wallpapers, heavy brocade and damask, and Norwegian antiques combine to exude an air of old-world, Edwardian glamor, echoed in the downstairs public spaces. Doors to unoccupied bedrooms are left open with a rope slung across the entranceway so guests can peek in to see what they might be missing. Three new suites were added to the main building in the 2022 refurbishment, including the Queenâs Suite with its quirky âring for champagneâ bell beside the bath. It works! 14 further rooms, more modern-Scandinavian in style (pared back, elemental in their use of wood, stone and natural textiles) are ranged across a cluster of five new-build farmhouses with traditional grass roofs. Food and drink The hotelâs dining concept aims to offer guests a âtaste of the fjordsâ hence, where possible, all the food is sourced locally and the menu tweaked daily according to what is available. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner the new Conservatory restaurant offers a three-course, fine-dining set menu each evening (think scallop ceviche, pan-seared turbot or beef tenderloin); the historic dining room offers a less formal, a la carte menu, while sandwiches and small plates can be ordered in the new Palm Barâa Belle Epoque extravaganza of tasselled banquettes, flouncy ferns and ostrich feather lamps. Donât miss the signature Slingsby Sling cocktail. Adventurers are encouraged each morning to load up on Great Grandma Ingvardaâs âporridge for pioneersâ before setting off with a packed lunch, ordered the night before. The spa There is no spa as yet at Hotel Union Ăye with nature still regarded as the perfect tonic for weary minds and bodies. The neighborhood/area For adventure seekers and adrenalin junkies, Hotel Union Ăyeâs activity options are manifold, whatever the time of year. Summer and autumn are best for hiking (the hotel offers several different, graded routes) with the ultimate challenge being an ascent of Mount Slogen, the âprettiest peak in Norwayâ according to 19th-century English mountaineer William Slingsby and regular hotel guest. Wild swimming, kayaking, and cycling are on the cards, too (kayaks, e-bikes and mountain bikes can be rented from the hotel) and 62°Nord has a fleet of boatsâand helicopters - for exploring the fjords (donât miss Geiranger, perhaps the most iconic fjord in Norway). Feeling less energetic? No matter. This part of the country has some of the greatest driving roads and the hotel has two electric Porsche Taycans for guestsâ use. In winter, when the days are short and temperatures plummet, snowshoeing and ski touring can be arranged; or just nip into the hotelâs garden where the summer lily pond becomes a skating rink. The service Heading the team of staff is the charming Marianne Ăye. The name is no coincidence as her family have lived in Ăye for generations and her father once co-owned the hotel. Like Marianne, many of the staff members are from the immediate vicinity, bringing with them tales of local history and folklore, which they share with the guests at after-dinner story-telling sessions in the drawing room. Staff are always friendly and obliging, ready to throw another log on the fire or bring around an evening tipple. A specialist activity concierge helps guests plan each dayâs adventures."

"Union Oye (8) Ognuna delle 15 camere e 22 suite di questo grand hotel (costruito nel villaggio di Oye, sul fiordo di Norang, nel 1891), ha il nome di un viaggiatore giunto fin qui per riposarsi ammirando il paesaggio delle Alpi del Sunnmore, nel Nord-ovest del Paese. Lontano dalla pazza folla, sceglierete Karen Blixen o Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? Edvard Grieg o Henrik Ibsen? In giardino, lo stagno si adoma di ninfee nella breve estate mentre d'inverno diventa una pista di pattinaggio su ghiaccio. Davanti al camino i padroni di casa raccontano le storie degli ospiti che giunsero perigliosamente fin qui: a voi basteranno due ore di auto da Alesund. L'inverno nordico trascorre tra cene a lume di candela, dolci e grog speziall e decorazioni natalizie che cercherete di copiare a casa (senza riuscirci), mentre il piano risuona nei saloni che richiamano "'epoca bella""
