The 41 Best Hotel Openings of 2022
Sommerro, Oslo, Norway
An arresting example of adaptive reuse, the 231-room Sommerro is found within a neoclassical building designed by Andreas Bjercke and Georg Eliassen between 1917 and 1930. The former headquarters of the city’s energy company, it is laden with Art Deco details that speak to the past. This vintage mood even carries over to Vestkantbadet, an old public bath revitalized as a 15,000-square-foot holistic retreat where the infrared sauna, cold plunge pool, and sleep treatments are buoyed by a mosaic wall depicting joyous swimmers that was restored tile by tile.
