HOTEL CONTINENTAL
Oslo
The Hotel Continental is a luxurious and grand , 5-star hotel with 151 rooms and suites , built in Art Nouveau style and dating from 1900 . It has been in the same family for four generations and its history is intricately linked with that of Oslo and in particular the Norwegian cultural scene . The hotel is proud of its origins when a couple from a modest background bought the lease from its original owners , a brewery . Since then the family has expanded and re-developed the hotel , up-dating and renovating whilst respecting the history of the building . In the early 20th century , the Continental was a popular meeting place for Oslo actors and artists . Prints by Edvard Munch , Jens Johannessen and Dagfinn Knudsen , paintings by Jacob Weideman and Liv Heier , and photographs by Eivind Lentz and Vibeke Tandberg adorn the walls and sit comfortably with the elegant contemporary style of the furnishings . The hotel has been Eco-Lighthouse certified since 2011 and recycles food waste , has green , district heating , and encourages guests to think about water usage , reducing food waste and not requesting a daily linen change . The hotel ’ s 151 rooms and suites vary in size primarily as all are furnished and decorated elegantly and comfortably , with basic amenities being the same . Some additional features are offered in suites . The Continental is very much associated with the Theatercaféen which opened its doors in 1900 and has been on a culinary discovery ever since and which is an intrinsic part of Oslo life .
