Oslo: Clarion Collection Gabelshus

Hotel Gabelshus has a fascinating history, dating back to 1912 when it was first established as a lodging house. Over the years, the mansion was run by three remarkable women, each with their own unique character. Miss Sommerfeldt, who managed the hotel from 1933 to 1945, famously lived in the building with her two parrots, who roamed freely. She was known for her caring yet authoritative management style and would unwind by smoking a pipe with guests in the evening.

Today, the hotel preserves this special atmosphere with its elegant salons and cozy rooms, including a library for quiet relaxation and a fireplace room for a calm, inviting environment.
