Description |
|
The Thief is
a 119 room luxury hotel on the waterfront
in Oslo's Tjuvholmen district. The
hotel's website says of it that, "....
Tjuvholmen (Thief Islet) used to be a
haven for smugglers, thieves and
scoundrels. Today it is home to THE
THIEF, a modern hideaway – right
in the middle of downtown Oslo. If
anything gets stolen there nowadays,
it’s usually us stealing our guests
away from their everyday lives.
THE THIEF has filled this retreat with
top international art pieces,
carefully selected designer furniture,
global Nordic cuisine, top quality spa
and cosmopolitan bars. ‘Escapees’ are
able to enjoy refreshing dips in the
sea at the Tjuvholmen beach or stroll
off the islet across the footbridge to
the bustling Aker Brygge restaurant
and business area. Most of our guests
come here to get away from it all, and
for the relaxing atmosphere of THE
THIEF. A sanctuary has never
felt so comfortable and secluded yet
connected." |
