THE THIEF is not your average art hotel. Its permanent collection was curated by the former director of Norway's National Museum of Art and its lounge hosts concerts, fashion shows, and book launches. The guest experience is equally exceptional. Breathe in the fresh sea air. Take in the stunning fjord views. Work out at the gym. Get a decadent Moroccan clay spa treatment and then dine on fresh catches and weekend brunch buffets. Explore Oslo and make memories no one can take away.
It is easy to have a room with a view when floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies are in all 116 rooms and suites. King-size beds, bathrooms with rain showers, exclusive art, and interactive televisions with video art are standard, too. Choose from five room categories, including unique suites like The Apparatjik Suite with video art, disco textiles, and art installations. The Oslo Suite has a fully equipped bar and pantry kitchen, plus a private terrace overlooking the Oslo fjord.
Five meeting spaces host everything from intimate gatherings to groups of more than 100 people. The largest venue, Fjord, boasts a rooftop terrace overlooking the cityscape and canals.
Start your day with a bountiful, organic Nordic cuisine. THE THIEF’s breakfast meet and greet is followed by warm tea and coffee and you can order hearty offerings with locally sourced ingredients (try the Norwegian waffles). Savor the weekend brunch with farm-grown fare or the daily offerings of lunch, dinner, late-night bites, and libations.
THE THIEF offers endless activity and leisure options. Admire fine art at the hotel and nearby museums. Swim in the cove-like indoor pool. Enjoy a drink on the terrace with fjord views and soak up some sun at Tjuvholmen Beach. After a workout at the fitness center, treat yourself to a Turkish hammam bath, body scrub, or spa massage. THE THIEF even offers a menu of quintessential Norwegian adventures with guides, from cross-country and traditional skiing to fun toboggan runs.
Oslo attractions, restaurants, shops, and nightlife are all nearby.
