Classic Hotel in Central Lillehammer

First Hotel Breiseth is centrally located in Lillehammer right by the train station and near the pedestrian street. Feel at home in one of our 69 charming rooms, enjoy the delicious breakfast buffet, and explore the many adventures in the Lillehammer Region. Relax by the open fireplace in our lounge or in the backyard with a cup of coffee.

In the early 20th century, the hotel was associated with the Lillehammer Painters, who often paid for their stay with their own artworks. Today you can enjoy the art and this special atmosphere at the hotel. First Hotel Breiseth is the perfect base whether you want to go skiing, cycling, hiking, or visit museums and cultural centers, such as the spectacular Maihaugen, and Lillehammer Art Museum.
