Oslo’s most storied hotel, the Grand Hotel first opened its doors in 1874 and continues its prestigious tradition of opulence and elegance. You’ll enjoy the same attentive service and indulgent rooms that have been sampled by more than a century of world leaders, Nobel Peace Prize laureates and renowned celebrities. The hotel carefully combines its magnificent historical details, like crystal chandeliers and gold-framed oil paintings, with modern amenities and style.
The 283 spacious rooms include more than 50 suites, all boasting a timeless style — many have views of Karl Johans Gate, Oslo’s main street. You can take advantage of the varied dining options, including the Palmen Restaurant and the Othilia bar in the lobby. There’s a spa for beauty treatments and Les Clefs D’Or concierges who can attend to all your needs.
