Lonely Planet review

Hotel Bristol is the one of the best top-end hotels in Oslo, with delightful, stylish rooms that come with polished floorboards, period furniture, bathtubs (some rooms) and most modern luxuries. Central and old, the hotel provides a glimpse into the sumptuous days of early-20th-century travel.

Dim, spacious and grand, the Bristol's arcaded rooms, lit by opulent crystal chandeliers and furnished with stacks of leather chairs, will make you hanker for tea and club sandwiches (both available). The walls come covered with ornamental bronze panelling, and a quietly murmuring fountain just adds to the ambience. The rooms upstairs have been recently renovated in an attempt to match the grandness below. Expect partial success: wooden floors, grey tones and etchings of Second Empire France. Most guests prefer rooms that overlook the bustling streets surrounding the hotel and not the ugly interior light well, though temperamental sleepers might prefer to face inward to avoid the noise of several nearby nightclubs.
