Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Clarion Admiral

If you're looking for stunning views, you won't do better than the Hotel Clarion Admiral, which looks across the water to the colorful facades of Bryggen. The waterfront lodging is in a century-old building, and retains plenty of period charm with its bay windows, beamed ceilings, and wood floors. It's worth splurging for a suite, as most standard rooms lack views.
