Radisson RED Oslo

Stylish hotel a few minutes' walk from Oslo's main train station and every major central attraction.

Eight minutes on foot from Oslo Central Station. As central as it gets, the Radisson RED sits right off Karl Johans gate, which means Stortinget, Akershus Fortress, the Opera House, and the Munch Museum are all within walking distance.

The lobby is loud colors, contemporary art, and a deliberate "we're not your dad's business hotel" energy. A rebrand from the old Park Inn, and the common areas pull it off. The rooms tell a different story. Standard rooms are small. Storage space is limited, the mood lighting leans dark, and some windows don't let in much natural light. 

Ask for a courtyard-facing room on a higher floor. Street-facing rooms, especially lower ones, catch noise from late-night crowds and early morning deliveries. This is the city centre, after all, not a sleepy suburb.

The hotel markets itself as a verified net-zero property. Soap dispensers instead of mini bottles, fewer single-use items. The gym is solid and open around the clock. There's a lobby bar but no rooftop bar. That's the Radisson RED Økern location, a completely different hotel across town.

A few Superior or Premium rooms have balconies. Rare, but worth asking for at booking if fresh air matters to you.


Dead centre Oslo. Karl Johans gate is three minutes away, Parliament even closer. Busy, loud at night on weekends, but you can walk to almost everything.
