In a recent episode of “Succession,” TV’s fav nepo babies head off to Norway, with Kendall, Roman, and Shiv hoping they can eke out a better deal for the sale of Waystar Royco to Lukas Matsson, played by Alexander Skarsgård. Needless to say, they’re a bit less than prepared for the wilderness despite the luxurious digs the Swedish businessman provides, as beautiful as they are. However, if you think you could use a bit of the great outdoors, it turns out that fans of the show can actually stay there in real life.
The GoJo retreat was actually filmed at Juvet Landscape Hotel, a 24-bed accommodation in a birch forest near Valldal in northwest Norway. The beautifully constructed building as well as the stunning surroundings made “Succession” producers eager to film there.
“When we saw images of the remarkable architecture and setting of Juvet, we got really excited – like nowhere else in the world,” producer Scott Ferguson told Variety. Incidentally, the same hotel was used in the 2014 sci-fi film “Ex Machine” as well, and it’s easy to see why.
Admittedly, it’s not necessarily cheap to stay there, as rates start at around $440 a night and go up to about $800 a night. The latter option, known as “The Writer’s Lodge,” includes two bedrooms with a work desk, living room, dining space, terrace, and its own bathroom with shower. Those prices do include breakfast and dinner, but it’s still somewhat costly. However, if you’re a big fan of the show and have a little extra cash to burn, it’s a great place to get away from it all and appreciate Scandinavia’s natural beauty.
We can’t promise you’ll see Alexander Skarsgård at your “Succession” retreat, but you should come back feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, and that’s kind of just as good, right? (Just say yes!)
