Farris Bad is an architectural marvel as well as an authentic spa hotel. It is located on the beach in Larvik and has 176 rooms and suites, decorated in light, neutral tones, reflecting the calmness of the hotel’s natural surroundings. The hotel acts, in itself, as a gallery, housing around 150 art pieces, and is the only hotel in the Nordic region which has placed its spa on a real source, rich in minerals. The sauna masters at the hotel are award-winning, following Norwegian sauna tradition as well as taking inspiration from the sauna cultures of other countries. Likewise, on top of relaxation, guests can indulge in culinary delights, such as the breakfast buffet in the restaurant, or the à la carte menu at dinner, which uses ingredients from the local area. Lunch starts with small dishes, then guests select their main from the open kitchen, before exploring the dessert buffet.

About Oslo and Oslofjord
Norway's capital city, Oslo, nestles at the end of the Oslofjord surrounded by hills and islands. Oslo blends skilfully tradition and modernity. The iconic Oslo Opera House on the waterfront sits a short distance from the Akershus fortress and the Old Town Hall dating from 1641 is a stroll away from the Akrobaten pedestrian bridge, a near-futuristic construction of steel and glass. Much of Oslo is within walking distance from the centre and you can explore happily on foot for much of your stay. You'll notice that cars are very much absent from the centre and that trams are a very easy way of reaching places on the outskirts. A fast train serves the airport and there are numerous ferries from the harbour in front of the town hall that take you to the islands in the fjord and to historic villages along the coast.
Highlights of Oslo
Waterfront, Opera House, Akershus Fortress, Norwegian Resistance Museum, Frogner Park, Bydoy and its museums, Oslo city museum, Fjord cruise
