Hotel Description

Nestled along the picturesque waterfront of Oslo, The Thief stands as a testament to Norwegian luxury and sophistication. This exceptional 5-star establishment has earned an impressive 8.7 rating from discerning travelers, cementing its reputation as one of Oslo’s premier accommodation destinations. Located at Landgangen 1 in the upscale Frogner district, The Thief occupies a coveted position on Tjuvholmen (Thief Islet), a revitalized peninsula that has transformed from a former shipyard area into one of Oslo’s most fashionable neighborhoods. The hotel’s intriguing name pays homage to the area’s colorful history, when the islet served as a haven for thieves and smugglers in the 18th century. Today, The Thief steals nothing but the hearts of its guests, offering unparalleled views of the Oslofjord and the striking architecture of the nearby Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, just steps from the hotel’s elegant entrance.

The Thief’s prestigious Frogner address places guests in one of Oslo’s most desirable districts, renowned for its embassy residences, historic Frogner Park (home to the famous Vigeland Sculpture Installation), and exclusive shopping opportunities. With the bustling Aker Brygge waterfront promenade just a short stroll away, guests can easily explore its vibrant collection of restaurants, boutiques, and entertainment venues. The hotel’s strategic location offers the perfect balance between serene waterfront tranquility and convenient access to Oslo’s cultural heart, with the Royal Palace, National Theatre, and Karl Johans Gate shopping street all within comfortable walking distance. The proximity to Oslo’s harbor also makes The Thief an ideal starting point for fjord cruises and island-hopping adventures during the summer months.

Behind its striking contemporary exterior, The Thief reveals an interior where Norwegian design excellence meets international luxury standards, earning its exceptional 8.7 rating through meticulous attention to detail and personalized service. Each element of the guest experience reflects the hotel’s commitment to sophisticated comfort and authentic Norwegian hospitality. From the moment visitors step into the art-filled lobby, they are enveloped in an atmosphere of refined elegance that continues throughout the property. The hotel’s waterfront setting provides many rooms and suites with breathtaking views across the Oslofjord, while floor-to-ceiling windows maximize natural light and connection to the stunning Norwegian landscape. As evening falls, guests can witness the transformation of Tjuvholmen’s waterfront into a tapestry of twinkling lights reflected on the fjord’s dark waters—a captivating scene that underscores why The Thief has become synonymous with luxury accommodation in Norway’s capital. Whether visiting Oslo for business or leisure, The Thief offers a distinctively Norwegian luxury experience in one of the city’s most prestigious and convenient locations, making it the discerning traveler’s choice for an unforgettable stay in this vibrant Scandinavian capital.
