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.

The Thief Hotel is an absolute gem on the Oslo map. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the unique atmosphere – the combination of modern design and an incredible art collection makes you feel like you're in a gallery, not your average hotel.

Amazing hotel in a great location. Bar area nice for cocktails. Restaurant nice but lacked a bit of atmosphere because it was very quiet. Menu limited with only 4 choices per course, but food was good. Rooms are comfortable, it’s hard to justify leaving the hotel to go and sightsee!! Would definitely recommend.

This was an unforgettable weekend experience thanks to an amazing hotel staff that made us feel special throughout the stay. We were welcomed by a very friendly reception employee that explained all available amenities at the hotel. Food quality was excellent. And last but not least the immaculately clean rooms that makes it a truly 5 star experience. I would definitely recommend this place and I can’t wait to visit again!!!

I never wrote reviews and I rarely go to hotels that exceed my expectations- but this did. The environment, style, comfort and quality was fabulous - and the breakfasts are unique and really exceptional!
