Tjuvholmen—once a shadowy islet known for smugglers and scoundrels—is now Oslo’s most coveted waterfront district, and home to THE THIEF, a boutique hotel that redefines contemporary luxury. This modern hideaway is a masterclass in design and discretion, seamlessly blending bold architecture with museum-quality art, curated interiors, and a distinctly cosmopolitan spirit. Just steps from the Astrup Fearnley Museum and the vibrant Aker Brygge promenade, THE THIEF offers a rare combination of seclusion and connectivity, making it an exceptional venue for high-end meetings, incentives, and private events.
Within its sleek façade, THE THIEF offers six versatile meeting spaces accommodating up to 150 guests. Each venue is infused with natural light, Scandinavian elegance, and cutting-edge AV technology. The Fjord Room, with its panoramic views of Oslo’s inlet, sets the tone for inspired gatherings, while the rooftop terrace provides a dramatic open-air setting for cocktail receptions and creative activations. Whether hosting a boardroom strategy session or a celebratory dinner, planners benefit from bespoke configurations and a dedicated team of event specialists who ensure every detail is flawlessly executed.
Culinary experiences at THE THIEF are rooted in global Nordic cuisine, where local ingredients meet international flair. Fru K, the hotel’s signature restaurant, serves modern interpretations of traditional Norwegian seafood in a chic, art-filled setting. The Thief Food Bar offers casual fare and snacks for working lunches or relaxed networking, while the rooftop lounge delivers sweeping views and craft cocktails perfect for sunset receptions. Customized menus and private dining options are available for groups and VIPs.
Between sessions, guests can retreat to THIEF SPA, a sanctuary of calm featuring a Turkish hammam, sauna, indoor pool, and in-room treatments. A 24-hour fitness suite, personal trainer, and on-site hairdresser and makeup artist ensure guests are refreshed and presentation-ready. All guests enjoy complimentary access to the Astrup Fearnley Museum, and Oslo’s city center is just a short stroll away.
THE THIEF'S excellence has been recognized with numerous accolades. It was ranked #1 hotel in Northern Europe and #4 worldwide in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2024, and has earned the World Travel Award for Norway’s Leading Hotel Suite six times for its iconic Oslo Suite. As Norway’s only designated Design Hotel, THE THIEF showcases original works by Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, and Richard Prince, offering guests an immersive cultural experience unlike any other.
With its prime location, award-winning culinary and wellness offerings, design-forward meeting spaces, and personalized service, THE THIEF is a destination that steals guests away from the ordinary—and delivers extraordinary experiences.
Start your day with a bountiful, organic Nordic cuisine. THE THIEF’s breakfast meet and greet is followed by warm tea and coffee and you can order hearty offerings with locally sourced ingredients (try the Norwegian waffles). Savor the weekend brunch with farm-grown fare or the daily offerings of lunch, dinner, late-night bites, and libations.
