Hotel Continental

Art Nouveau and timeless elegance

Framed paintings by Munch in the hotel bar add to the only-in-Oslo atmosphere at this elegant Art Nouveau address near the Royal Palace Park and National Theatre. The 155 rooms at the family-owned Hotel Continental mix old world decor and modern details, and are nicely insulated from street noise, despite the central location. Theatercaféen, the onsite restaurant that’s been in business since 1900, is as appealing for a light lunch as a multicourse meal.
