The best hotels Oslo

The superlative hotel. The largest and highest in Scandinavia with 37 floors of glass, the Plaza has a bold and very convincing architecture, but also proudly boasts the Swan label in 2003: label indicating strict environmental measures (energy, water treatment). In the heart of the center of the nerve center of Oslo, there are 676 superb modern, design and comfortable rooms recently refurbished, a calm and stunning view of the fjord and the city, a swimming pool at the top to offer the dream of swimming in the clouds. Bill Clinton, Buddy Guy or Elton John have their little habits… and why not you?
