About

Bø Hotel is a modern, family-friendly hotel situated in the heart of Mid-Telemark—the natural starting point for adventures in every direction. Within walking distance of Bø city center and just a short drive from the region's top attractions, the hotel is the perfect choice for family vacations, weekend getaways, and conferences alike.

After an active day, you can enjoy dinner in the hotel restaurant, relax in the garden, or take an evening dip in our heated outdoor pools (summer season) before waking up to a generous and energizing breakfast.

In recent years, the hotel has expanded with new meeting and conference facilities, strengthening its position as "The Meeting Place in the heart of Telemark" for both leisure and business travelers.

  • Daily children's shows and a dedicated playroom.
  • Outdoor activities: XL-chess, shuffleboard, and garden games.
  • Heated outdoor pools.
  • Large family-friendly BBQ buffet.

The restaurant is open year-round, offering a buffet on weekends and "Dish of the Day" or à la carte menus during the week.
