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.

It is about a 20 minute walk to the main part of the city, but it has a lot of nice restaurants and modern atmosphere in the harbor area. It was very comfortable and modern and has a popular roof top bar for the evening cocktails.

Great location, excellent room, but at the time we visited neither the ground floor bar nor the main restaurant were open, despite being advertised. Unfortunately we were overcharged in the rooftop restaurant and had to go to reception twice before it was corrected. Some advertising not clear about extra charges for swimming pool and sauna.

Coolest hotel I have stayed in a while. Great vibe, beautiful and luxurious rooms with a really cool vibe. Amazing bathrooms and amenities. The staff is super friendly and professional, great tips to enjoy the city without offering you the most expensive stuff in town. Roof top bar is also very cool. The location is amazing, not right in the city center but close enough in what seems a new local neighborhood. Loved it! Stay here!

Great hotel in a great location. Hotel is modern and on the waterfront in a nice part of the city. Rooms are modern and well maintained. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice of dishes. There is a great rooftop bar with good views over the city and harbour. Would recommend for a nice city break.
