Radisson SAS Scandinavia Hotel

As the sun sets over Oslo, we like to gather with friends at Summit 21, a bar on the 21st floor, for one of the grandest vistas of Oslo. This black, angular hotel doesn't quite escape the impersonal curse of its 1975 construction, but it tries nobly and succeeds rather well on its interior. Thanks to aggressive, seasonal price adjustments and an appealing setting, this "grandfather" of Oslo's modern hotels boasts an average occupancy rate of 73%, as opposed to the Norwegian national average of only 54%. With 22 floors, this is Oslo's third-biggest hotel (after the Radisson SAS Plaza Hotel and the Clarion Hotel Royal Christiana), the second-tallest building, and the first hotel that most Oslovians think of when they hear the name "SAS Hotel." Bedrooms are relatively large, very comfortable, and come in about a dozen different styles, including Scandinavian, Japanese, ersatz "rococo," Art Deco, and a nautical style inspired by the maritime traditions of Norway.
