Leading hospitality interior design practice RPW Design has completed a re-design of Hotel Continental Oslo, one of Norway’s most sought after five-star hotels.
Hotel Continental Oslo is Norway’s only member of the Leading Hotels of the World Group. The hotel is over 100 years old, first opening in 1900, and has been in the same family for over four generations.
The refurbishment of the interiors comprises a sensitive re-design of the hotel’s public areas and 155 guestrooms, bringing the interiors into the 21st century whilst respecting the style of the historic property.
As Jan Wilson, Managing Director of RPW, explains “Our design bridges the gap between the much valued historic, traditional architecture and the client aspiration for a clean, contemporary and very Scandinavian concept.”
“The light palette of colours, textures and fabrics were all carefully selected to reflect this aspiration. The use of metallic, silver and pearl tones gives the interiors the lightness so necessary in dark northern latitudes whilst also creating a sense of tranquility and warmth.”
