Radisson RED Oslo

Stylish hotel a few minutes' walk from Oslo's main train station and every major central attraction.

Eight minutes on foot from Oslo Central Station. As central as it gets, the Radisson RED sits right off Karl Johans gate, which means Stortinget, Akershus Fortress, the Opera House, and the Munch Museum are all within walking distance.

The lobby is loud colors, contemporary art, and a deliberate "we're not your dad's business hotel" energy. A rebrand from the old Park Inn, and the common areas pull it off. The rooms tell a different story. Standard rooms are small. Storage space is limited, the mood lighting leans dark, and some windows don't let in much natural light. 

Ask for a courtyard-facing room on a higher floor. Street-facing rooms, especially lower ones, catch noise from late-night crowds and early morning deliveries. This is the city centre, after all, not a sleepy suburb.

The hotel markets itself as a verified net-zero property. Soap dispensers instead of mini bottles, fewer single-use items. The gym is solid and open around the clock. There's a lobby bar but no rooftop bar. That's the Radisson RED Økern location, a completely different hotel across town.


A few Superior or Premium rooms have balconies. Rare, but worth asking for at booking if fresh air matters to you.

Neighbourhood vibe


Dead centre Oslo. Karl Johans gate is three minutes away, Parliament even closer. Busy, loud at night on weekends, but you can walk to almost everything.

0.5km Insider pick
125 years old. Rooms are individually decorated with hand-picked art, and the lobby bar, Bar Boman, houses one of the country's largest private collections of Edvard Munch prints. But the real draw is Theatercaféen, the grand Viennese-style restaurant on the ground floor, with its high ceilings and mirrored walls. It's been the place in Oslo where actors, politicians, and locals meet for over a century. Nationaltheateret station is 100 metres from the front door.
0.6km
A 19th-century station building with real architectural character, three minutes from the airport train platform, literally inside Oslo Central Station.
0.6km
Oslo's biggest hotel. New and fresh. Rooftop bar with fjord views, three minutes from the airport train. Rooms are unremarkable chain-hotel fare. But the rooftop alone makes it a sharper pick than the faceless business hotels nearby, and the location is hard to fault for convenience.
