About The Thief
The Thief, at Landgangen 1, opened on Tjuvholmen in 2013, on an island that was once a haven for thieves and smugglers, in the hotel’s words. VisitOSLO counts 114 rooms and suites, all with French balconies, and calls it Oslo’s first hotel with direct access to the fjord. THIEF Spa, THIEF Restaurant and, in summer, the roof terrace complete it.
