A little island, a whole ocean of experiences. With Oslo´s most spectacular location THE THIEF steals its guests away from everyday life. Tjuvholmen – the city district which was once home to criminals and shady dealings is now a power centre for contemporary art and good city living at the water’s edge. International-calibre restaurants, cosy eateries and high-quality galleries sit side by side in pedestrianised streets and squares. And the Astrup Fearnley Museum designed by Italian star architect Renzo Piano, is the hotel’s nearest neighbour. THE THIEF reflects its surroundings. From the balcony you can enjoy the view of the fjord. Inside curator Sune Nordgren has hand-picked contemporary art which inspires, surprises and creates aesthetic experiences. The rooms have designer furniture from national and international quality producers selected by interior designer Wille Våge. The building was designed by Mellbye Arkitekter. THE THIEF is a lifestyle hotel based on a fundamental philosophy of sustainability and local qualities. THE THIEF Hotel recently won two awards at the Norwegian Travel Association award show “Grand Travel Award”. The two prizes won were “Best City Hotel” and “The best new Hotel Lauch”. |
