What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This classic edifice opened in 1917 as a theater and an office building, and it’s lived a storied life since then, playing a supporting role in the history of Norwegian opera and drama.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors face Eidsvolls plass, with the parliament building and Nationaltheatret station just steps away.
The rooms
Bedrooms occupy the building's former offices, layered with heavy velvets and deep colors inspired by the stage downstairs.
Restaurant
Teatro
Thin-crust pizzas arrive with unconventional Nordic toppings like venison, served under crystal chandeliers and geometric brass screens.
Teatro Wine Bar
More than 1,400 labels fill the basement cellar, and a private tasting table sits beneath a vaulted gold ceiling.
How it began
The building opened in 1918 as the Opera Comique, the stage where soprano Kirsten Flagstad launched her career.
