It has a rich history, hosting international guests, celebrities, and even Nobel Peace Prize winners. Location: Grand Hotel is located in the city center of Oslo, Norway. You are literally within walking distance of many great attractions, restaurants, and shopping just outside its front entrance! Walk over or take a short ride to visit major attractions like the Royal Palace, Parliament, and Aker Brygge. It was a bit chilly when we visited in late May, however, with the brisk walking and a warm jacket we kept ourselves warm and comfortable. Accommodations: The hotel interior is stunning and exquisite in its design and decor. The rooms are suite sized and luxurious for your stay. Restaurants we dined in: During our stay, we were fortunate to experience dinner at the iconic Palmen restaurant. Entering the restaurant, your eyes are drawn to the most beautiful chandelier (see picture). The luxurious decor and expansive dining room sets the ambience for the culinary experience we were about to enjoy. The Palmen Restaurant is a renowned restaurant. The restaurant's innovative and dedicated Chefs have created an exquisite continental menu with a Nordic twist. We all enjoyed our dinner here. The service was 5 stars throughout our dinner service for 40! Attentive to everyone's needs and wants. The second location is the Grand Café: A historic cafe serving a rich breakfast buffet in beautiful surroundings. A little history: In 1874 Grand Café opened its doors. Back then, Oslo was called Kristiania. This is where it all started. Location: The Grand Café is located on the ground floor of the hotel. The new Grand Café is open and welcoming to it's guests. The kitchen is open with access to the chefs who prepare food with ingredients mainly from the Nordic countries, and with inspiration from other parts of the world. The decorative ceilings of Lars Backer have been unveiled and recreated, the original Thonet chairs have been renovated and the three famous Krohg paintings have been preserved. (Information is from its website). The fresh local fruits, Nordic cuisine, fresh local breads and so much more is a Foodie breakfast experience that I highly recommend when visiting Oslo. Do not miss your once in a lifetime opportunity to taste a 5 star culinary experience of local and international cuisine! The best way to see the food offerings is via the pictures posted for the restaurant! There is so much more that The Grand Hotel has to offer you! Check out its website for more details. Stay here if you can during your visit to Oslo, Norway. The Grand Hotel Oslo is a 5-star establishment I could not include all the food pictures in this review!

What a grand hotel! My stay was better than I could imagine! The room is large and spacious and the…read morebest is the most comfortable bed I've slept on! The water pressure is excellent and all the storage to hang and fold clothes. The do need better hairdryers as they're old and not very powerful. The hotel is just so beautiful with an awesome rooftop and lobby bar (both have the same menu). We paid extra for the breakfast, and it was pretty solid- meats and cheeses, eggs, bacon, sausage, lox, fruit, yogurt, cereal, pastries- you name it! Overall a wonderful hotel in a perfect location! We would definitely come back!

Only down side I would have to say is no drinks....wish they had told us that as we ordered our drinks, chugging our beer in 2 min was not exactly a proud or fun moment. Nonetheless I enjoyed the venue and would love to come here again!

A good mix of a crowd and the music was good for dancing. Nothing to do with the latest hits, it was more like electronic. Good beats to dance. The cover charge was 50 nok which I find reasonable. There is a stage where people were dancing on and a second floor with couches. There are also some couches downstairs for the lazy/tired ones. An outdoor area is open for smokers which is next to the river and has some heat lamps. Ingensteds is a place I will definitely will go again!

Really awesome area of clubs and bars with a lot of street art and a chandelier hanging outside!…read moreSome places charge cover, this place does not, at least not on Saturday nights around 10pm. Great space with indoor and outdoor seating. There's also like a 2nd floor loft with better lounging options (couches) Great dance floor and stage and (disco) lighting. The music is okay - the songs they play are way too long. If they just played half the song, it'd be better They check IDs at the club and check your bags for bottles - even water bottles aren't allowed.
