Tjuvholmen (Thief Islet) used to be a haven for smugglers, thieves and scoundrels. Today it is home to THE THIEF, a modern hideaway – right in the middle of downtown Oslo. If anything gets stolen there nowadays, it’s usually us stealing our guests away from their everyday lives.
THE THIEF has filled this retreat with top international art pieces, carefully selected designer furniture, global Nordic cuisine, top quality spa and cosmopolitan bars. ‘Escapees’ are able to enjoy refreshing dips in the sea at the Tjuvholmen beach or stroll off the islet across the footbridge to the bustling Aker Brygge restaurant and business area. Most of our guests come here to get away from it all, and for the relaxing atmosphere of THE THIEF.
International-calibre restaurants, cosy eateries and high-quality galleries sit side by side in pedestrianised streets and squares. And the Astrup Fearnley Museum designed by Italian star architect Renzo Piano, is the hotel’s nearest neighbour. A sanctuary has never felt so comfortable and secluded yet connected.

Our second stay at the Thief and it didnt disappoint. We booked the NYE package and had an amazing time from start to finish. All the staff who looked after us were excellent and professional. Our room was beautiful with nice touches like the gorgeous Tu and Dam Nordic toilettries, Home made chocolates and personal card. The 5 course meal was delicious with perfect portion sizes. Every course was memorable. We enjoyed the wine pairing, which included an English sparkling wine!. Breakfast is up there with the best Ive ever had in a hotel. Attentive service, perfect Eggs Benedict and well thought out buffet options. Enjoyed the views of the Oslo fjord on a cold and frosty New Years Day. And then there is the spa...its had a refurb since our last visit and was even more beautiful. Lovely warm pool with twinkly ceiling lighting, pots with sea salt and Natura Biss Vitamin C mask for the rasul room and lovely staff. Came out glowing and completely relaxed. Late checkout was no problem and the icing on the cake. We cant wait to return. Itis hard working NYE in hospitality so thank you to all the staff, well done for your top notch service

As a frequent international traveller, I find that what truly sets hotels apart is the attitude, attentiveness, and consistency of the frontline staff. At The Thief, the team delivered on all fronts. They were professional, engaged, and reliable throughout my stay. Thank you.
