Sommerro House: The Art Deco Darling Electrifying Oslo's Hotel Scene
By Stephanie Gavan

Housed in a landmark 1930s building – once the headquarters of the city’s energy company – the hotel has earned the title of Norway’s largest preservation project, with original neoclassical and art deco details meticulously restored by LPO Architects. But to call Sommerro a hotel is to risk downplaying it. Since its opening in September 2022, the property’s glut of bars and restaurants has been electrifying Oslo’s hospitality scene, drawing a permanent cast of well-heeled pleasure-seekers who are roaring their way through the twenties in unmistakably Scandinavian style.
