Sommero

Occupying the former headquarters for Oslo Lysverker - the city's electrical company - Sommerro marks the rebirth of a 1930s landmark in one of Oslo's loveliest neighbourhoods.

All located on the third floor, we have eight historical rooms available for private hire, including two heritage spaces with original details – like Krohgsalen with its remarkable ceiling mural by artist Per Krohg and Direktør- kontoret which was the former office for the General Director of Oslo Lysverker – and four light-filled boardrooms. The names of each of the rooms, as well as the interior design, are inspired by significant figures linked to the heritage of the building as well as the art deco era. Equipped with everything you need, including top technology and more, check out the individual spaces for exact specifics.

With an intimate library, a cosy cinema and even a grand theatre inspired by the golden age of old Hollywood, our unforgettable collection of living rooms are all available for private hire. Whether you're planning an intimate get-together or a big bash, our spaces can be arranged exclusively so that you can celebrate in style, whatever your need.

Krohgsalen

One of our heritage rooms inspired by Per Krohg, the Norwegian artist whose expansive fresco adorns the ceiling.

One of our heritage rooms, Krohgsalen is our most iconic space and was once the canteen for the employees of Oslo Lysverker. It takes its name from Per Krohg, the celebrated Norwegian artist, whose artwork can be found throughout the hotel including a remarkable mural that adorns the ceiling in this room. Kitted out with state-of-the-art technology, its very own kitchen and a small bar, it is perfect for larger groups looking for a proper celebration.

Borgfeldtstuen

Named after Asbjørg Borgfeldt, the Norwegian sculptor whose wonderfully detailed reliefs adorn the pillars at the entrance of the building, Borgfeldtstuen is distinguished by its great natural light and artwork.

With space for five long boardroom tables, as well as a salon to relax in, the room is perfect for anything from brilliant brainstorms to family gatherings.

Direktørkontoret

Here we pay tribute to Asbjørg Borgfeldt, whose sculptural reliefs decorate the pillars at the front entrance of our building.

This listed room - also one of our heritage spaces - is Norwegian functionalism at its best, with original details including handsome timber wall panels and distinct clean-lined furnishings that complete the sense of timelessness. It also smartly connects to one of our impressive heritage bedrooms and a living room, making it one of our most unique suites- ideal to rent out in its entirety or just as a boardroom on its own.

Munthe

With its grand wood inlay table and magnificent timber ceiling, this listed room was Oslo Lysverker’s former boardroom.

Like the other boardrooms, but with space for 14 people, this room is named after artist Gerhard Munthe, whose dreamy and contemporary illustrations of Norwegian folklore inspired the interior design of the entire hotel. Whether it’s a product launch, a creative workshop or just a change of scenery you need, we have you covered with top tech, a kitchenette, breakout area, cloakroom and toilet facilities to boot.

Board Rooms

Whatever the type of meeting you’re looking to host, we have the means to accommodate with savvy tech, including AV-equipment and whiteboard walls; super-fast Wi-Fi; coffee and tea on tap; and lots of natural daylight.

Storstua

A canteen by day, this versatile room can also be transformed into a party-perfect space, complete with its own entrance.

Day-to-day, Storstua is set up as both a canteen and a break-out area, which serves a delicious selection of grab 'n go lunches, snacks, tea and coffee. As our second largest room, with its own street side entrance, it can also be hired out, either as a whole space, or divided into two. So whether you're planning a big bash or an intimate celebration, this party-perfect space with its embossed linoleum ceiling, can be transformed to include a bar and a DJ area for up to 100 guests.

Salongen

From breakfast meetings to after dinner tipples, the set up of this vibrant room can be flipped to suit your needs throughout the day

Not your average meeting room, The Salongen is our flexible space, perfect for informal gatherings and those looking to hang out for the whole day. Whether it's a breakfast event, a casual drinks reception, an intimate dinner, or all three, we can flip the room's set up throughout the day to fit your needs. And with its glass brick wall that takes its cues from Villa Stenersen, Oslo's modernist gem, and a vibrant rainbow colour scheme inspired by a vintage rya - a traditional Scandinavian wool rug - the bright and airy space is ideal for those looking for a relaxed and dynamic option.

Biblioteket

Inspired by grand modernist libraries, this snug book-filled space is the perfect escape from the everyday.

Together with The National Library, just across the street, our Biblioteket is a snug book-filled space, perfect for escaping from the outside world. The design takes its cues from grand modernist libraries with whimsical Nordic touches from botanical patterns to a warm honey-coloured hand-blown glass screen. It is also our digital detox room, where guests are encouraged to stow away their mobile phones and settle down with a cup of coffee and a good book. The entire room can be hired out for anything from wine tastings to intimate get-togethers or even as a spot to deliver that inspirational speech.

Kinoen

Our intimate cinema can be rented out for anything from brand presentations to cosy movie nights.

Inspired by Tancred Ibsen, the filmmaker who introduced Norway to its first feature-length sound film in 1931, our intimate screening room with its rippling curved ceiling, features comfy deep-tufted art deco lounge chairs and enveloping carpet-clad walls in warm bronze tones. We will have regular screenings of everything from Norwegian and foreign films to timeless classics.

It can be rented out for all occasions from brand presentations to private movie nights - paired, of course, with drinks and snacks.

Lysverker scene

Lysverker Scene er en hyllest til Hollywoods glamorøse gullalder og de store, europeiske operahusene.

Fra det buede podiet med stjernebelysning og lavendeltoner inspirert av Harald Sohlbergs kunstnerskap, skal vi kuratere et fullt program med intime eventer – fra jazzkvelder til kabaret. Scenen har egen backstageinngang, bar, toaletter og garderobe, og kan leies ut ved spesielle anledninger.
