Strand Hotel, Fevik
Grimstad, Norway
Strand Hotel Fevik is a seaside hotel in Fevik which is in Grimstad Municipality, Agder county, Norway. The hotel opened on 17 May 1937 and was developed by hotelier Axel Lund in partnership with restaurateur Sigfred Stephensen of Restaurant Blom in Oslo. Designed in a functionalist architectural style overlooking the Skagerrak coast, the hotel formed part of a broader effort to develop the Sørlandet region as an international tourist destination. During the German occupation of Norway in the Second World War, the building was requisitioned and used as a German convalescent home. The hotel later became associated with the author Roald Dahl, who visited regularly for many summers. A major extension completed in 2010 expanded the hotel with additional rooms and conference facilities.
