Savoy 1918

Savoy 1918 has seen it all. After first opening in Oslo’s noted Watt Building, its ground floor once displayed motor cars. Things shifted gear in the ‘30s when Europe’s creative luminaries checked in – and came time and again in the decades that followed, as the Savoy Bar became a beacon for the city’s sophisticated nightlife. Today’s reimagination has paid careful tribute to this heritage, drawing back the curtain on the past – while opening a door to a beautifully considered boutique hotel present.

Savoy 1918 reveals its stories slowly; in the warm glimmer of candlelight, in the muraled walls, and from a watch-the-world-go-by window seat in the restaurant. Here each detail, from the gilded mirrors and botanical print fabrics to the Nouveau fan tiles and statement lights, echo with timelessness. It’s a polished style signature that carries across the bedrooms and down to the restaurants. Picture the bright minds that dazzled society at Savoy Bar, now welcoming a new era of guests. Then experience Oslo’s culinary legacy at Café WATT, spearheaded by a Nordic master chef.

Oslo’s history, culture and singular character are found in its grand theatres, royal palaces, sea-edge fortresses and modern masterpiece museums. Centuries of architects left their mark on this city, and you don’t need to stroll (or sail) far from Savoy 1918 to see their influence. Turn to the seafront to see the ‘Fjord City, or the ‘Barcode District’, for contemporary buildings. A must is the Opera House, where arias float all the way up to the marble rooftop, where you’re encouraged to sit and enjoy a fresh perspective on the city, the archipelago, and the storybook hills in the distance. Just like the hotel, Oslo is both elegant and spirited, made to stir the imagination and linger in the memory.
