A Norwegian first
The conversion project will be located in Oslo’s government quarter. A joint venture between AB Invest and Møller Eiendom, The Hoxton Oslo is at the heart of a new project to revitalise the city centre.
The 144-room project is due to open in the first quarter of 2027.
Across the street, Møller Eiendom is revitalising the historic public library building into a cultural hub with a museum, restaurant and bars. The area will also be turned into a green, car-free neighbourhood, just a block from Oslo’s main street Karl Johans Gate.
The Hoxton was chosen for the project because of its reputation as an international brand of lifestyle neighbourhood hotel, said Andreas Jul Røsjø, Møller Eiendom’s CEO.
“That is precisely what we need when revitalizing the Hammersborg neighbourhood,” he added.
“The hotel will be a place to hang out for both locals popping in for a drink after work and for guests staying at the hotel or in the surrounding area.”
Ennismore’s in-house interior design studio AIME Studios has taken over the interiors for the project.
The Hoxton Oslo will feature 170sqm meetings and events space set around an open pantry kitchen, and three unique food and beverage outlets including an all-day dining destination, a restaurant, and a cocktail bar.
All of the food and beverage outlets have been curated by Ennismore’s F&B concept studio, Carte Blanched.
Ennismore looks ahead
Ennismore’s Founder and Co-CEO, Sharan Pasricha said the brand was thrilled to be the first international lifestyle hospitality brand in Oslo.
“The Hoxton takes pride in being located in vibrant, up-and-coming neighbourhoods, and we are honoured to partner with AB Invest and Møller Eiendom to welcome locals and guests to Oslo’s revitalised government district,” Pasricha added.
The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels rooted in culture and community, located in key cities across the UK, Europe and North America.
Each hotel is a reflection and extension of its neighbourhood, inspired by the diversity and originality of the streets that surround it. Vibrant, welcoming public spaces and exciting dining concepts mean every Hoxton is as much a destination for the local community as it is for guests.
Today, The Hoxton operates 16 hotels, including recent openings in Vienna (Austria), Charlottenburg (Berlin), Brussels (Belgium), and Amsterdam (The Netherlands), and it has seven more hotels in the pipeline, including Edinburgh.
