Picolo recommends · Hotel in Stavanger, Norway
Clarion Hotel Energy
A large modern hotel beside the arena and exhibition halls west of the centre, with a pool that keeps children happy on wet days.
The children are in the pool before breakfast, and by the time the coffee is poured the lobby is filling with conference badges. Clarion Hotel Energy sits at Tjensvoll, west of the centre, right beside Stavanger Forum, the city's arena and exhibition district.
Everything here is built for scale: generous rooms, a breakfast designed for crowds, a gym and plenty of places to sit. On concert or match nights at the arena, you simply walk across.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Clarion Hotel Energy
We chose Energy for families and for anyone heading to an event at Forum. It offers the space and facilities that the centre struggles to match, and the pool is a real asset in a rainy city.
You are not in the centre. Evenings on the harbour mean a bus or a taxi each way, so couples on a city break will be happier staying close to Vågen.
