At Sommerro, there are seven restaurants and bars, a private cinema, a library, a theatre, the city’s first rooftop pool and a sprawling basement spa and wellness area so vast they give you a map.

The former headquarters of an electricity company may not sound like the most alluring setting for a luxury hotel, but thanks to a painstaking five-year renovation, this 1930s neoclassical landmark in the upmarket Oslo suburb of Frogner has been transformed into a fanfare of Great Gatsby glamour.

Oslo favourites Barramon and Plah & Ahaan have taken up residence on the ground floor, offering Spanish pintxos and elevated Thai cuisine respectively.
