The hotel's website boasts: "The Grand Hotel in Oslo, the Norwegian capital, is perhaps its most venerable and elegant deluxe hotel, forming a striking landmark on the city's grandest street, Karl Johans Gate.
The Grand Hotel is a mix of tradition and new styles - timelessly classic, yet offering today's celebrities, world leaders, and you too, all the luxury, quality and comfort you have the right to expect from a modern first-class international hotel.
"The Grand first opened its doors in 1874. For nearly 140 years, the name has been synonymous with quality and atmosphere. World-famous Norwegians such as Henrik Ibsen and Fridtjof Nansen made the Grand their second home. Today, we are proud host to Nobel Peace Prize laureates, celebrities and heads of state. Our guest book is a valuable historical document. And there is space for your name, too."
