"A glamorous hotel housed in a 1930s building near the Royal Palace; the listing highlights a cavernous coffee shop that is great for people-watching and specifically warns, “Don’t miss the heated outdoor pool on the top floor.”" - Akash Kapur
"Not long after Sommerro's fall 2022 opening, the hotel and spa made its way on Travel + Leisure's list of the 100 best new hotels in the world. Its electricity factory history is felt while the mid-century interior design and moody lighting offer a polished feel. The 231 rooms of various sizes include annexes, sloped ceilings, and exquisite upholstery, plus top-tier amenities and service. Don't miss the newly opened Izakaya, which serves a Nordic-Japanese menu." - Alexandra Pereira
"Inside the Sommerro Hotel, you’ll find this well-run restaurant that blends Norwegian ingredients with Thai flavours. The cooking comes in the form of a seafood-focused tasting menu that takes you on a real journey through Thai cuisine and features eye-catching, imaginative dishes that are full of flavour. Adding to the experience are the lively atmosphere and attentive service. Sister restaurant Ahaan offers a simpler take on Bangkok streetfood." - Michelin Inspector
"Sitting on an elegant tree-lined street in Frogner, one of Oslo’s oldest neighborhoods, this 231-room hotel occupies a prominent 1930s building—the former headquarters of the city’s first electricity company." - CNT Editors
"Sitting on an elegant tree-lined street in Frogner, one of Oslo’s oldest neighborhoods, this 231-room hotel occupies a prominent 1930s building—the former headquarters of the city’s first electricity company. The eclectic interiors are a decadent embellishment to the original mishmash of Art Deco and sober, functionalist details—from the handsome timber wall panels in one of the suites, the former director general’s office, to the grand staircase in the lobby. Designed as a social hub with a roster of cultural events for visitors and Oslo locals, the ground floor is a sweep of humming restaurants and bars, plus a cinema and a theater. Meanwhile, the top floor, with sublime Oslo views, is home to a restaurant by Nordic sushi pioneer Frida Ronge as well as the city’s first rooftop pool and sauna. A spacious subterranean wellness floor occupies the building’s former public baths, where you’ll find the original pool and a restored mosaic wall by Norwegian artist Per Krohg. From bathrobes by local bed-linen company Abate to tote bags and cushions from Sisters in Business, a sustainably focused social enterprise that employs immigrant women, Sommerro acts as a showcase for Oslo’s relatively undiscovered brilliance. Rooms from $273." - CNT Editors
