A stunning 5-star hotel in a restored 1930s Art Deco building in Frogner. Features the rooftop pool with city views, a copper-clad bar, restaurants, spa, and cinema.
Sommerro occupies a meticulously restored 1930s Art Deco power-company headquarters at the edge of Frogner, within walking distance of the Royal Palace, the National Museum, and the boutiques of Bogstadveien, and close to Majorstuen's tram and metro connections. The conversion preserved original terrazzo floors, copper detailing, and geometric ceiling work while adding a contemporary layer of Scandinavian design, giving the hotel a distinctive 1930s-meets-modern character rare in Oslo. Rooms range from cosy standard doubles to expansive suites with freestanding tubs and views over Frogner's rooftops, many finished with vintage-inspired furniture and brass fixtures that echo the building's industrial past. The hotel houses three restaurants and bars, including the acclaimed Sommerro Kjøkken for New Nordic cooking and the moody, copper-clad Frognerbadet bar, giving guests a genuine choice of dining styles without leaving the building; there is also an on-site cinema for private screenings. Wellness facilities include a rooftop pool with city views, a full spa with sauna and treatment rooms, and a well-equipped gym, making it one of the more amenity-rich luxury hotels in the city. Service is polished but relaxed, pitched at both leisure travellers wanting a design-led stay and business guests using the hotel's meeting spaces, and the Frogner setting offers a quieter, residential contrast to hotels clustered around Sentrum.
