Rough Guide Star
"Arguably the classiest hotel in town, family-owned and with swish public areas that ooze an easy comfort – all pastel shades, flowers, and even some Munch paintings."
Star Service "This grande dame holds the kind of sophisticated style that attracts a more loosely wound bloodline of landed gentry." Full review

Michelin Guide "Impressive 1894 red wood building once used as a sanitorium for TB patients. Mix of classic and modern bedrooms with good comfort levels; some with city or fjord views."
Frommer's "Ranging from comfortable and spacious standards to classically decorated deluxe units, bedrooms are cozy, with lots of exposed wood, and hints of chalet styling." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This eye-catching luxury hotel was built in the Norwegian “dragon” style over 100 years ago and is situated high above the centre of Oslo, affording a unique view of the city and fjord."
Star Service "With breathtaking views of the city center and Oslo Fjord, this elegant outback offering provides discerning escapists with a unique opportunity within sight of the city." Full review

"The 336-room, four-pearl Scandic Holmenkollen Park is a historic architectural masterpiece on a hill overlooking the Oslo Fjord, though it's a bit far from the city center." Full review
Fodor's "Dating to 1894, this stunning and distinguished hotel has a peaceful mountaintop setting with unparalleled views of the city below." Full review
Lonely Planet "Founded in 1891 as a sanatorium by Dr Ingebrigt Christian Lund, this castle-like hotel offers luxury, history, great views and, all things considered, a very reasonable price." Full review
