A Waterfront Design Hotel in Oslo

On the Tjuvholmen islet in central Oslo, The Thief is a design and art-led boutique hotel on the waterfront, with balconied rooms, contemporary Nordic dining, a rooftop bar and a spa with a fjord bathing jetty.

Art and the fjord in the heart of the city

The Thief sits on Tjuvholmen, a waterfront islet in central Oslo at the edge of the fjord, in the city’s contemporary-art district next to the Astrup Fearnley Museum. It is a design-led boutique hotel filled with international art and designer furniture, with rooms from Standard up to the Oslo Suite, all with private balconies and many with fjord views. Dining runs from the Thief Restaurant, serving contemporary Nordic cooking over the fjord, to the Thief Bar, a champagne bar and the Thief Rooftop with its fjord views.

The Thief Spa has a 12-metre indoor pool, Dornbracht sensory rain showers, a steam room, a Finnish sauna and treatment rooms, plus a 24-hour gym and access to the fjord for sea dips from a private jetty. Weekly run-and-swim mornings and Riva boat cruises add to the stay, and museum tickets are included. Part of Nordic Hotels & Resorts, it suits design and art-minded city travellers and couples who want a waterfront boutique base in Oslo with a spa and fjord swimming.

A note on experience

This suits you if you want a waterfront boutique base in Oslo with a spa and fjord swimming. Take a room with a balcony over the water, swim in the indoor pool or dip straight into the fjord from the jetty, and dine on contemporary Nordic cooking with a fjord view. Head up to the rooftop for a drink, take a Riva cruise, and step next door to the art museum. It is design-led and urban. Best for design and art-minded travellers and couples.
