The Thief
The city's best art-inspired stay


Art lovers and trendsetters gravitate to this design hotel that opened in 2013 on the waterfront in Tjuvholmen, the “thief’s island”, which references the location’s 18th-century prisoner history. The Thief sits steps from the celebrated Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art. Warhols are among the works decorating the hotel’s common spaces. Within the 119 lavish rooms are such decadent touches as Røros wool throws and Bryan Ferry photographs. Dinner at Fru K is a must.
