Thon Hotel Gyldenløve in Oslo has been completely renovated and presents itself as a brand new hotel and a perfect example of Nordic design. Architect Lars Helling is behind the design. He has chosen modernistic nordic design, which combines light and notion of airiness with several unique elements.

Bathroom walls of glass create a novel feeling of roominess, a sink removed from the bathroom and placed inside the hotel room itself adds a unique appearance. The lamps and chairs in the rooms are custom made for the hotel. The reception area is painted in a fresh purple colour and features rubber chairs custom made by designers Quinze & Milan – great names within the design community. The breakfast area is moved to the 2nd floor where there is a view of Bogstadveien.

The renovation process had a double focus: Staying true to the design ideas throughout the process while at the same time emphasising practical solutions. So far, feedback from guests is positive; the design creates both awareness and interest.
