In Ekspedisjonshallen, the former main hall, the house band plays jazz every day.

Luxury hotels in Oslo with history and Michelin Keys: emigrants, Art Deco and Thief Islet

A hundred years after it opened, it became a boutique hotel. The Michelin Guide gives it one Michelin Key, and the Forbes Travel Guide lists it as Recommended.
Sommerro Oslo occupies a monumental brick building on Solli plass that Andreas Bjercke and Georg Eliassen designed for Oslo Lysverker: begun in 1917 and completed around 1930, with bas-reliefs by Asbjørg Borgfelt and murals by Per Krohg. This hotel, too, holds a Michelin Key.

Where to stay in Oslo: Sentrum, Frogner or Tjuvholmen – which area suits your 5-star hotel
Between the station, the palace park and the waterfront, distances in Oslo are short. So the key question when choosing among the luxury hotels in Oslo is what you'd like outside your door: train tracks, a residential quarter or the water.
Sentrum: Amerikalinjen Oslo is on Jernbanetorget opposite the Central Station; the Flytoget airport train takes 20 minutes, plus a four-minute walk. The Opera, the Kvadraturen shops and the Youngstorget nightlife are all on foot, and the Radisson Blu Plaza Oslo on Sonja Henies plass next to Oslo Spektrum is close to the station too. Our pick for short city breaks and arrivals by train.

Tjuvholmen: THE THIEF Oslo stands right on the water next to the Astrup Fearnley Museum, with a footbridge over to Aker Brygge. Our pick for couples and art lovers.
