4-star business hotel with full-service event center in central Oslo

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.

Business & Events

The hotel operates a full-service event center with 15 flexible meeting rooms that can accommodate up to 800 attendees. Each room is equipped with modern conference technology and good ventilation for long events. The event center also features a spacious conference room that held up well during a full-day session with many participants.

Dining & Breakfast

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. The breakfast buffet is consistently praised as one of the most extensive in the city, but can become crowded on weekends.

The hotel is pet-friendly, providing accommodations and amenities for keeping pets during a stay.
