Hotel information
Located in Tjuvholmen, Oslo’s former haunt of smugglers and scoundrels, The Thief is a contemporary city-centre retreat which perfectly balances seclusion with connection.
Its striking waterside setting offers you sweeping views of the fjord, while the surrounding district buzzes with art galleries, pedestrianised streets and international-standard restaurants. The Astrup Fearnley Museum, designed by Renzo Piano, sits steps away, beckoning you to admire its works.
Inside, The Thief is a carefully curated space. Contemporary pieces, selected by curator Sune Nordgren, punctuate the interiors, while rooms feature designer furniture hand-picked by Wille Våge, marrying Scandinavian elegance with international flair. Mellbye Arkitekter’s architectural design ensures every corner feels both modern and welcoming, making it ideal for your getaway.
Dining at The Thief is inventive and considered, its menus drawing on Nordic ingredients while nodding to global flavours; it’s ideal whether you’re enjoying a relaxed lunch, an evening meal or an afternoon tea in the Champagne Bar. Additionally, the bars and lounges provide cosmopolitan spaces for you to unwind or gather with friends and family, extending the hotel’s understated sophistication.
For relaxation, Thief Spa has world-class facilities. The 12-metre heated pool, Finnish sauna and sky showers ensure its rituals are restorative, while facials and massages are tailored to your specific needs. A short walk leads to the Oslofjord, where a refreshing dip can complete your escape.
The Thief is best suited to travellers seeking a refined urban sanctuary. Here, you can step away from the everyday while remaining at the heart of Oslo’s contemporary culture and culinary scene.
