Hotel Features. Opened in 2007, the seven- storey First Hotel Grims Grenka is a design hotel incorporating modern Scandinavian style and Zen- influenced minimalism.

Expert Tip. In 1947, Thor Heyerdahl set out to prove that ancient Egyptians could have sailed to the Americas. The boats he built, using only technology and materials available to the original sailors, are on display at the Kon-Tiki Museum.

Overview
Luxury design hotel - contemporary Nordic style with an Oriental touch. 66 rooms, of which 24 suites, offer spectacular space. The modern Nordic style is updated and brought to a new level by the mystique of the Orient in the interiors. Playful light arrangements and colour schemes create an intimate and sensual atmosphere throughout the entire hotel. The rooms will be in three different styles; green for summer, blue and white for winter, and red and gold for the mysterious, decadent and sensual way of living. The restaurant boasts Asian fusion cuisine with a new twist. If you just want a lighter snack, the tea and cocktail bar with emphasis on organic tea and drinks, offers classic lobby food and exclusive caviar. On the stylish roof top lounge you can unwind and self-indulge with a refreshment on a warm summers day, whilst taking in views of Oslo’s urban jungle. The lounge/nightclub on the first floor will transform Oslo’s nightlife.
