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.
