Description:
The modern, high-rise Anker Hotel Best Western stands overlooking the River Akers, at the intersection between the contemporary city and the main thoroughfare. Just a few hundred meters away is the main shopping street of Karl Johan and the central train station. The 137 guestrooms have either views over the city or, from the back of the building, the river. Simple modern furniture is accompanied by warm earthy tones and guests can relax in their rooms watching movies or using the Internet connections available.
The hotel lobby bar and winter garden provide guests with a chance to unwind with a cool drink. Just around the corner from the hotel, the local neighborhood offers a variety of restaurants, quaint shops and bars to explore. Further afield the Viking Museum is around 5 kilometers away and offers the opportunity to glimpse the world’s two best-preserved wooden Viking ships, both built in the 9th Century. Another attraction of note includes the Munch Museum, containing Edvard Munch’s bequest to the city of Oslo (often referred to as’the scream’). Additionally, just 3 kilometers from the hotel is Vigeland Park, Norway’s most visited site, attracting more than 1 million visitors every year. The park is home to approximately 200 sculptures by Gustav Vigeland, the man behind the park’s design.
