the lift which opened at Hovden in 1952. This also gave a large increase in demand. In 1957, Architect Hugi Kohmann presented a model for three additions, two large two-story buildings and one eight-story. Although supported by the hotel management, the board of Spisevognselskapet were split, and in the end only one of the two-story extensions were built and completed in 1962. In 1973, Norsk Spisevognselskap decided to sell the hotel. There were two bids, one from the municipality and one from the former manager, Erik Schønheyder. The municipality planned to rebuild the hotel to become a new town hall. They won the bid, but afterwards withdrew to allow Schønheyder to purchase it. Another extension was launched in 1979, and completed in 1989. Ownership later passed to Johan Fr. Schønheyder.
