Boutique hotel in a historic 1918 theater building in central Oslo

History & Theatre

Hotel Christiania Teater occupies a Nordic Neo-Renaissance building inaugurated in 1918 that has served as a fairground, concert hall, vaudeville theater, cinema, and Norway's first opera stage. The hotel preserves a 600-seat theatre within the building that can be rented for private events and meetings. Rooms are named after theatre roles like 'Costume Designer' and the slow elevator is decorated with a humorous poem about itself.

Dining

Restaurant Teatro offers a menu of gourmet pizzas and gelato made on site, with a wine list that earned a Best Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator. The hotel's afterwork bar serves specialty cocktails and pizza in a space that doubles as the theatre lobby. Breakfast each morning includes fresh juice, waffles, and a wide selection of local and organic ingredients.

Rooms

The hotel offers 102 rooms, including family-friendly rooms with adjoining doors and allergy-free rooms upon request. Units are decorated with original artwork and sculptures throughout the building, and some suites feature a private reading nook with skylights. All rooms come with a large bathroom with a waterfall shower, and guests can request an upgrade to a junior suite with extra space.

Location

The hotel sits on Stortingsgata street, a three-minute walk from the National Theatre tram stop and the Airport Express Train station. Guests can walk to the Royal Palace, Akershus Fortress, and the Nobel Peace Center in under 10 minutes. The main shopping street Karl Johans Gate and the harbour with the Munch Museum are also within a short stroll.

Family & Pets

The hotel welcomes children with family rooms that sleep up to three adults, and the restaurant offers a kids-friendly pizza menu. Pets are allowed on request, and the front desk can provide a dental kit and other travel essentials. Daily housekeeping includes a charity option: guests can decline cleaning to donate €1 to a local cause.

Highlights

Theatre: 600-seat historic theatre for events

Dining: Restaurant Teatro with Wine Spectator award

“In my opinion, this is a strategically located Oslo hotel with distinctive décor that honors its artistic past, while providing modern comforts. I was particularly impressed by the on-site Restaurant Teatro, and its chef-driven menu, as well as the wine selection. Finally, the customizable meeting spaces are ideal for events, especially with the inclusion of a historic theatre.”

junior suite excellent bathroom reception staff thin mattress used mattress sofa bed

The junior suite was spacious and had an excellent bathroom. the reception staff were cute. They were also helpful. the buffet breakfast included plenty of choice and great quality items.

The mattresses were not good. They were too thin and well used. the bed seemed like a sofa bed. i asked for a solution. The best they could do was put two mattresses on top of each other. this made things even worse.
