#4 Karl Johan Hotel

“Right on the city”s main street, this one gave us a front-row seat to Oslo life. Beautifully restored, with warm interiors and thoughtful Nordic touches. Perfect for city wanderers who love being in the action.”
#3 Amerikalinjen
Shared by Aaron Hall – 465 ❤️
“An absolute showstopper. Set in a former cruise line HQ, this hotel was bold, artful, and full of character. The jazz club downstairs and the courtyard café made us want to move in.”
#2 Hotel Bristol
Shared by Yvonne – 539 ❤️
“Classic charm with cozy corners and roaring fireplaces. It felt like a refined library you could sleep in—velvet armchairs, vintage touches, and the kind of calm that made us want to sip tea and journal.”

“Old-world elegance wrapped in Scandinavian poise. With stunning interiors, white-glove service, and a location steps from the National Theatre, this was Oslo’s most iconic stay—and we felt it in every detail.”
