Fodor's Expert Review The Thief

Oslo's most tongue-in-cheek boutique hotel is located on Tjuvholmen, meaning Thief Islet, hence the unusual name. The lobby area has a sleek, contemporary design and accommodates a bronze statue and other artworks from the adjacent Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art. Rooms are palatial and sumptuously appointed, with gargantuan beds and TVs that can order room service. The indulgent spa has highly trained technicians on call, or you can just take advantage of the sauna, steam rooms, and neon-lit swimming pool. Breakfasts here hold nothing back, including every kind of cheese you can imagine (including Norwegian brown cheese). Hire the hotel's sleek boats to hit the fjord in style.
