The Grand Hotel in Oslo is perhaps its most venerable and elegant deluxe hotel, forming a striking landmark on the city's grandest street, Karl Johans Gate. The Grand Hotel is a mix of tradition and new styles - timelessly classic, yet offering all the luxury, quality and comfort you have the right to expect from a modern first-class international hotel. The Grand first opened its doors in 1874. For more than 130 years, the name has been synonymous with quality and atmosphere. World-famous Norwegians such as Henrik Ibsen and Fridtjof Nansen made the Grand their second home. Today, the hotel is proud host to Nobel Peace Prize laureates, celebrities and heads of state.

The perfect size for exploring on foot, Oslo boasts a host of museums, shops and attractions. Stand face to face with the haunting image of Edvard Munch's "The Scream" at the National Gallery, dip an oar into the past at the Viking Ship Museum or spoil your taste buds in Aker Brygge's renowned restaurants.
