A hotel formed to host the British aristocracy, Britannia has a fascinating heritage. After a major revamp, it reopened in 2019 – 149 years after its inception. The grand property contains 257 bedrooms, each with handmade beds, double marble bathrooms and mod cons like Nespresso machines. Last year, Britannia’s palatial dining room, Speilsalen, earned its first Michelin star. And it offers an extensive wine list, with a 10,000 bottle strong cellar. The spa is the largest in the area too; guests can make use of the heated indoor pool, mineral pool, Nordic saunas and infrared cabin. This five-star establishment is a member of The Leading Hotels of The World.
