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.

There are many hotels in the world with beautiful locations and nice architecture, but few with this level of customer service. If you have a certain standard, and appreciate “the little extra” look no further…. Worth every penny!

Our experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing and far below expectations. The concierge service was particularly poor — they were unable to properly arrange even a simple taxi, which is a basic expectation for any five-star hotel. Cleanliness was also substandard, and the overall hygiene level was unacceptable for a property claiming five-star status. Considering all of this, we strongly believe this hotel does not deserve its five-star rating. It is absolutely not worth the price, and we would strongly not recommend staying here
