Hotel Christiania Teater
Theatrical and artsy, with a mix of vintage drama and modern Scandinavian comfort. Rooms are individually decorated — think velvet headboards, quirky animal portraits, chandelier lighting, and wall art by interior designer Gathe Gram. Playful rather than stuffy.

Why It Matters
One of the few hotels in Europe where you can walk downstairs from your room and catch a live theater show. The building itself is a protected heritage landmark with a story that spans Norwegian opera history, Nazi occupation, and postwar cultural revival. Restaurant Teatro holds a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence with ~1,400 bottles on the list.
Hotel Christiania Teater opened as Opera Comique in 1918 — a Nordic Neo-Renaissance building on Stortingsgata where Kirsten Flagstad began her career. It's been an opera house, casino revue theater, Nazi propaganda cinema, home to Det Norske Teateret, and a multiplex. Today it's a 112-room boutique hotel with a working theater still hosting shows on the ground floor. The building has been on Norway's National Register of Historic Places since 2015, and a major renovation wrapped in 2024.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Deluxe Room
The first room type with a proper king-size bed and a seating area with chairs. More space to stretch out. Still faces the inner courtyard. Sofa bed available on request, which makes it workable for a small family.
180cm king · 23 sqm
Double Petite
The budget-friendly double option. At 12–15 sqm it is genuinely snug for two people, but the queen bed is comfortable and the design is sharp. Faces the inner courtyard. Good if you are primarily here for the city rather than the room.
160cm queen · 13 sqmFineart Suite
A collaboration with Fineart Oslo — Norway's leading gallery for contemporary art. The suite features rotating original artworks. Currently showing works by Norwegian photographer Morten Qvale. One of the more unusual hotel room concepts in Oslo.
KingJunior Suite
King bed, large work desk, sofa, and chairs — this is when the room starts to feel genuinely generous. Sofa bed available on request, which makes it a solid family option. Faces the inner courtyard.
180x200cm king · 23 sqmSingle Petite
The hotel's smallest option. Inner courtyard view keeps things quieter, but do not expect to unpack fully — this is a sleep-and-go room. Smart use of space with everything you need, just not much extra. Good for solo travelers who plan to be out most of the day.
140cm double · 13 sqmStandard Room
Step up from the Petites and you get a proper work desk and some breathing room. Faces the inner courtyard. The XXL duvets are a genuine highlight. Suits both solo business travelers and couples equally well.
160cm queen · 19 sqmSuite
The top tier. King bed with velvet headboard, wall paintings by interior designer Gathe Gram, and a golden glass chandelier. Separate living area with sofa. Some suites have a deep-soaking bathtub — request at booking. Park or city views. These rooms were part of the 2024 renovation and show it.
180cm king · 29 sqmSuperior Room
Same size as the Standard but faces Spikersuppa park and the city — worth the upgrade for the view alone. Chandelier in some rooms, Bluetooth speaker included. Connecting room configurations available on request.
