Sommerro, located in the former headquarters of Oslo Lysverker, marks the revival of a 1930s landmark in one of Oslo's most prestigious neighborhoods. This exciting venture by Nordic Hotels & Resorts and Strawberry (formerly Nordic Choice Hotels) redefines hospitality with a strong focus on culture and community.

As Oslo’s first neighborhood hotel, Sommerro is a game-changer, offering 231 rooms and suites, meeting and event spaces, a hub of restaurants and bars, a library, a private cinema, a subterranean wellness area, and the city’s first rooftop pool, sauna, and terrace—a year-round destination with panoramic views of Frogner and the Norwegian capital.
