Nordic Hotels & Resorts announced today that it is bringing one of Oslo’s most iconic buildings back to life as Sommerro – a new luxury hotel set to open its doors in September 2022.
A community in its own right, the 231-room art deco hotel, complete with 56 branded residences, will boast four restaurants and three bars, meeting and event spaces with capacity for up to 150 people, a 200-seat gilded theatre, a gym and wellness space, and the city’s first year-round rooftop pool, sauna, and terrace.
The crown jewel of Sommerro’s social spaces is its year-round rooftop terrace, home to the contemporary Tak Oslo restaurant. The rooftop terrace’s pool deck will be an exclusive retreat for hotel guests, where light bites will be served in the summer and, during the colder months; in-sauna treatments can be enjoyed.
The hotel will also offer Lysverker Scene, an alluring 200-seat gilded theatre that will host intimate events open to the public. Vestkantbadet, one of the few public baths left in all of Norway, has been brought back to its former glory and expanded into an 8,000sq ft underground wellness paradise – the largest of any city hotel across the Nordic countries.
“Our vision is to re-define Oslo’s hospitality landscape by creating a new kind of hotel built on Frogner’s classic and creative neighbourhood spirit,” said Jarle Moen, Managing Director of Sommerro. “Made by the local community, Sommerro will be an open house for all where visitors and locals can work, sleep, eat, play and recharge. Together, we are creating an inspiring space where kindred souls and culture-makers can gather in cosy corners or pop by for a range of experiences from intimate gatherings and work meetings to late-night movie screenings and wine tastings in our library.”
