Carefully selected Norway hotels
Best hotels in Norway for all types of traveller
Norway welcomes visitors to its clean, well-organised cities including Oslo and Bergen. However, the Norwegian capital is miles away – in distance and character – from Bergen, with its brightly-coloured waterfront houses. The Arctic cities of Bodo and Tromso are also worth a trip; and despite being the country’s fourth-largest city, discover the natural beauty surrounding Stavanger. It presides over fjords, mountains and sandy beaches. If you love nature, Norway’s dramatic mountains and crystal clear waters are hard to resist.
Take a break in Oslo’s cultural city centre at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel. After days exploring the best of Oslo, unwind in the hotel’s indoor swimming pool and relax in the sauna, or visit the state-of-the-art gym. Taste Nordic dishes or sip a nightcap in the rooftop bar, 34th Restaurant & Bar, and soak up the glistening views of the city.
