You may not notice anything special when you are about to enter this family driven hotel in Oslo, although you may have an inkling of what is in store for you. A really good hotel provides an experience that is slow in unfolding, a pleasant revelation of inner qualities that combine to form an integrated whole. Once you are inside, this unifying concept will gradually become apparent. You will sense that a great deal of thought and years of tradition are at its core. Hotel Continental has been a family enterprise for four generations. It is over 100 years old, and is situated in the heart of Oslo - the capital of Norway. Indeed, it is the heart of the city! The sights of this fascinating capital city are more accessible from here than from anywhere else. *** Hotel will be open on January 2 to December 22.
