The Sommerro is set to take Oslo’s luxury hotel scene by storm

Due to open in September 2022, this 242 rooms & suites hotel promises to offer guests the finest hospitality experience in Oslo. Located in the fashionable Frogner district, the Sommerro aims to bring exemplary service, innovative facilities & amenities, and international luxury hotel standards to Norway’s capital city. With Oslo currently enjoying only three truly world-class properties, the Sommerro will be a welcome addition to its hotel inventory. 

Originally home to Oslo’s electric company, the Sommerro is crafting an uber-designed contemporary product while still retaining the elegance and grace of the 1930s Art Deco building in which it lives.

The main hotel offers 231 rooms & suites while the Sommerro also owns the adjacent Villa Inkognito - that adds a further 11 rooms & suites. It is envisaged that the Villa will be booked by large families or companies looking for privacy while still enjoying the facilities of the main hotel.

The hotel is co-owned by famed Norwegian hotelier Petter Stordalen, who also owns Oslo’s celebrated The Thief hotel. The owners have a clear vision for the Sommerro. “We are excited to bring one of Oslo’s most iconic buildings back to life. We wanted to create a hotel that will bridge the concepts of hospitality and design and serve as an open house for the local community and the visiting creative scene” comments Stordalen.
