Grand
Hotel is an Oslo classic, and there’s a good reason for that. It’s a
classy old hotel, but it hasn’t gone out of date. New things keep
happening here. The latest initiative is the so-called ”Ladies’ floor”,
on which thirteen unique room have been designed in collaboration
between an interior designer and Norwegian celebrity, singer Bertine
Zetlitz. I stayed in a room with a spirit of 1001 Nights, with lots of
velvet and glitter and colored lamps and dark wooden furniture. A room
in which it was extremely easy to feel like a queen.
All rooms at
the ”Ladies’ floor” are extraordinarily well equipped: A yoga mat, two
hairdryers and fabulous bath products from L'Occitane and fresh
flowers.
The pool and spa are in the process of renovation, but supposed to be done in December 2007.
