Victoria Hotel

A little background on the Victoria Hotel:

“Contractor John G. Nielsen completed Victoria Hotel in 1900. Henry Bucher of Kristiania (now Oslo) drew the building in neo-renaissance style and the building is of few buildings with pseudo-renaissance character in Stavanger. The building has always served as a hotel, but it has also hosted important institutions like he city’s first cinema, head quarters for Bjelland & Co., and Bennet Travel Agency. In the sixties the hotel seized the beautiful neighbour building, after the bank it hosted, moved. Today you find one of the grandest banquet halls in town, two modern conference rooms and Restaurant Nero. (Source: Victoria Hotel).
