Location & Sustainability
The hotel is within a 5-minute walk of Karl Johans Gate shopping street and a 7-minute walk from Nationalteatret metro and airport shuttle stop. The National Gallery is a 3-minute walk away, and the Royal Palace grounds are 5 minutes on foot. Scandic St. Olavs Plass holds the Nordic Swan Ecolabel certification, reflecting its focus on sustainable practices and local food sourcing.

The on-site restaurant se.ua serves international dishes for lunch and dinner, alongside a lounge bar offering Norwegian beers. Breakfast features an exclusive emphasis on sustainable and local food options, with a wide spread that includes gluten-free choices and avocado.

A 24-hour shop in the lobby offers snacks and essentials, and the lounge bar serves drinks in a spacious lobby area. The hotel provides a parking garage (narrow, suitable for small cars), electric vehicle charging stations, and accessible parking for guests with disabilities.
