Hotels

Kronen gård hotell

Kronen Gaard Hotel

The yellow Swiss villa, hidden behind the majestic 1907 weeping beech tree, emerges as a brilliant sight as you drive into the courtyard. Here, amidst the beautiful cultural landscape and protective beech trees, lies our historical gem, just a 5-minute journey from Sandnes city center and 15 minutes from Sola Airport and Stavanger city center.

Rich in history, Kronen Gaard’s main house was built in 1898 by a timber dealer named Gabriel Block Watne. Back then, the family used it as a summer residence, and it quickly became a place where family and friends gathered. Today, Kronen Gaard Hotell offers elegant, traditional accommodation in the beautiful countryside of Sandnes. The charm of its past has been preserved.
