Hotel Christiania Teater occupies a building completed in 1918 as an opera comique, later a revue theatre, a cinema and the home of the Norwegian Theatre for four decades, which explains the grand staircases and theatrical flourishes. It became a hotel in 2010, took its current name in 2014 and was renovated in 2023, and today it calls itself a charming boutique hotel where old-world glamour meets modern comfort. There are around a hundred rooms. Restaurant Teatro on the second floor serves dinner daily, with room service in the evening, and the wine bar on the first floor stays open late. Breakfast is served every morning, and guests have access to a nearby fitness centre in Vika.
Location: Stortingsgata runs parallel to Karl Johans gate between the Parliament and the National Theatre, so the Royal Palace, City Hall and the harbour are all within a ten-minute walk, and Nationaltheatret station, with trains to the airport, is about two minutes away.
Who it suits: first-timers and couples who want a central, characterful mid-range stay. Ask about packages if a show is on at the theatre stage.
