Clarion Hotel The Hub, building in Oslo, Norway
Clarion Hotel The Hub is a large modern building in central Oslo with multiple restaurants, a bar, an indoor pool, and a fitness center. Rooms feature wood floors, large windows, and some have balconies with views, while a rooftop garden is planted with vegetables and herbs.
The building was originally constructed for the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo and underwent major renovation by architects in 2019. This transformation blended the old structure with modern art and design to revive it as a contemporary hotel.
The name refers to the hotel's position as a central meeting point in the city. The building integrates local artworks and a rooftop garden with beehives, reflecting an emphasis on sustainability and connection to the community.
The hotel sits just minutes on foot from the main train station, making it easy to explore the city or travel by public transit. During peak occupancy check-in lines can be long, but self-serve kiosks help speed up the process.
The hotel operates a rooftop garden with beehives that produce honey for guests to enjoy, an unusual green initiative for an urban high-rise. The garden also supplies the hotel's restaurants with freshly grown vegetables and herbs.
