If you’re putting your budget on the backburner and you’re looking to splurge on accommodation in one of Oslo’s upmarket suburbs, the lavish and leafy Frogner is where it’s at. It’s the part of the city where you’ll find luxurious hotels with all the trimmings, along with classy antique stores and 5-star restaurants offering international cuisine. The Thief will steal your heart, with 5-star hospitality and just a minute’s walk from the beach. Hotel Verdandi Oslo is another popular choice, known for its delicious breakfast buffet and fuss-free modern rooms.

Bordering the cultural melting pot that is Gamle Oslo, trendsetters (and followers) will likely feel a pull towards Grunerlokka, the city’s former workers’ district in downtown Oslo. This is one of the areas to stay where there’s no shortage of welcoming streetside cafés, vintage shops and bustling flea markets. Enjoy luxury without spending a fortune when you opt to stay at the Comfort Hotel Xpress Youngstorget. Anker Hotel is another fantastic accommodation provider within walking distance to many of Oslo’s attractions, including the Oslo Opera House. 

Soak up the stunning views of the Oslofjord waterway when you settle in at one of high-rise hotels in the city centre (the Sentrum). Scandic Byporten Oslo puts you in the centre of all the action. It’s conveniently located just a three-minute stroll from the Oslo Spektrum, a multipurpose indoor arena which hosts events and conferences, and is used as a music venue, among others. The 4-star, eco-certified Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel combines comfort and modern aesthetic appeal. It also boasts a fitness centre with a sauna and an indoor swimming pool on the top level.
