HOTEL CONTINENTAL AND THEATERCAFÉEN
Situated in Central Oslo, Hotel Continental is the perfect choice for overnight
accommodation. It all started with the opening of Theatercaféen just across the
street of Norway’s National Theatre over 100 years ago.
Due to the great location, the restaurant and the
hotel became a second home for many known cultural
personalities, actors and other artists. Theatercaféen
was a place where people met before and after the
theatre and it became a “see-and-be-seen” restaurant.
Over the last four generations, the same family has
built up and developed Hotel Continental into one of
Norway’s finest five-star hotels and a member of the
Leading Hotels of the World.
Since 2014, there were three large renovations
throughout the Hotel. During all the process, the hotel
owner, Elisabeth, worked together with the interior
design team carefully considering what they could
reuse and how they could make the classic elements
harmonise with modern design. The main goal was
to preserve their unique heritage while drawing fresh
inspiration from contemporary trends.
When CoveteED entered the Hotel, we could feel the
classic contemporary look throughout the property.
When we went to the bar near the lobby, we could see
both young and elderly guests appreciate this mix. The
ambience welcomed us to seat in the lobby relaxing and
