Son Spa

$$$$ | Hollandveien 30, Son, 1555, Norway Fodor's Choice
In the idyllic artists' colony of Son, this much-loved property is much more than a spa (although many people do come for the indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, and saunas, along with a range of indulgent treatments). Right on the harbor, it's a modernist cube of a building with sleek rooms that take full advantage of the view from floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies. Dine on langoustines and steaks in the huge dining room with both indoor and outdoor seating.

Pros

  • Well-equipped spa area and fitness room
  • Great restaurant and evening entertainment
  • Spacious and bright guest rooms

Cons

  • You have to love ultramodern design
  • Restaurant is loud when there's live music
  • Pool area can get crowded

Hotell Refsnes Gods

$$$ | Godset 5, Son, 1518, Norway

This historic hotel, a 20-minute drive from Son, is home to one of Norway’s best kitchens and has a fantastic wine cellar and bright and airy guest rooms. With Victorian flourishes here and there, the suites contain paintings by famous artists like Frans Widerberg and Jacob Weidemann, whose works hang in major museums. The French-Norwegian food is especially good, and the "grand menu" consists of seven courses of meat and local game. While dining, take a look at one of the seven Munch paintings in the dining room, including Blue Lady. Framed by two towers, the handsome main building dates from 1767 and used to be part of a family estate. 

Pros

  • Opulence of a grand country house
  • Haven for art and history lovers
  • Natural setting

Cons

  • Prices on the high side
  • May feel a bit formal
  • Far from major sights
