Juvet is far away from the densely populated world, a 90-minute drive from the closest Norwegian city, Ålesund. In the Ex-Machina movie, this stunning remote getaway was the property of a tech billionaire who experimented on human-like robots.
These rooms were designed to bring you as close to nature as possible while shielding you from its cold winds and sharp-toothed citizens.
The simple pine and glass constructions are built on metal stilts that can be pulled from the ground leaving no trace of any structure being there. So the landscape is entirely unaffected by the development.
Winding pathways around Juvet's property, surrounded by the Norwegian wilderness.
The steel-framed bridges are constructed above the rapid-flowing river.
The landscape rooms feature floor-to-ceiling glass walls. It's like a thin layer between humans and nature. A layer that protects you from the external cold while you observe the snow-covered landscape in complete serenity.
The Ex Machina Hotel
In the 2014 movie, director Alex Garland decided to use this picturesque location for shooting. The drama between humans and a humanoid AI, Ava, unfolds in Juvet hotel's interiors.
Hotel in the Succession series
The highly addictive American television show about the billionaire Roy family is mostly shot among the skyscrapers of New York.
However, in season 4, episode 5, they visit a remote hotel in the Norwegian mountains. And as you have already guessed, it's Juvet.
The Juvet Hotel is comprised of nine wooden huts scattered around the forest.
Each of the private huts offers accommodation for two and the most breathtaking panorama of the Norwegian landscape that you can imagine.
Your hut is simply furnished with just a bed, bathroom, and lounge chairs with ambient noise provided by the rush of the stream on the valley floor.
The interior uses dark colors, drawing your eye to the beauty beyond the glass partition.
Some rooms look out over the valley to the fairy-tale mountain tops, and some are placed where moss-bearded rocks and calm trees create naturally-occurring Zen gardens.
The view from the sauna through the floor-to-ceiling glass panels is one of the most impressive parts of the Juvet Landscape Hotel.
Until you get to see the outdoor hot tub, which is integrated into the beautiful terrace that overlooks the river and the lush forest.
The outdoor activities are many. You can ski, hike, and raft your way through the wilderness.
Dining, Lounge, and Spa facilities can be found in the beautifully restored historic farm buildings.
