HOTEL MANAGER

Brekkestranda
· Sognefjorden, Western Norway

More than fifty years ago, a woman named Ingeborg Brekke created something truly unique here. But before she built a hotel, she was a cook. For her, hospitality began in the kitchen with food, with welcoming people, and with making guests feel t spirit became the foundation of Brekkestranda and it never left. Together with architect Bjørn Simonnæs, she created something remarkable.

He designed the buildings according to what he called a nest-building philosophy — the idea that a structure shouldn’t sit on top of a landscape; it should grow from it. Very few places in the world have history, architecture and landscape all telling the exact same story.

In spring 2027, Brekkestranda will reopen its doors – and we’re now looking for someone who wants to be part of the journey from the very beginning.
