Engø Gård Hotel & Restaurant

The beginning of what is now Engø Gård was Pihls Pensjonat – one of Tjøme’s many summer boarding houses.
It was the romantic Frithjof Pihl and his sister Daisy who opened a guest house on Engø in 1924.
Frithjof’s English wife Babs added British charm and elegance to the place.
The same atmosphere lingers and is described by many as the “Engø feeling”. Engø gård became part of De Historiske Hotel & Spisesteder in the summer of 2009.
This is a unique membership organization consisting of many of Norway’s most charming hotels and restaurants.
We are also proud to be part of De Historiske’s new concept Hubriding.
The beginning of what is now the hotel and restaurant company Engø Gård was Pihls Pensjonat – one of Tjøme’s many summer boarding houses, which enjoyed a heyday until the late 1950s.
It was the romantic Frithjof Pihl and his sister Daisy who started a guest house on Engø in 1924.
Daisy looked after the summer guests and ran the rental business, while Frithjof ran the farm and was otherwise a handyman.
