Clarion Hotel The Hub is a 810-room, four-star design hotel at Biskop Gunnerus gate 3, 0155 Oslo, in the Sentrum district directly beside Oslo Central Station. Part of the Strawberry hotel group, it pairs contemporary Scandinavian interiors with Norda, a 13th-floor restaurant serving Nordic Fusion cooking, the street-level Hub Bar, and GrowHub, a rooftop vegetable and herb garden that supplies the kitchen. Travelers choose it for its location one minute from the train, tram, metro and Flytoget airport express, and for dining that is strong enough to draw non-guests.
What to Expect at Clarion Hotel The Hub
The Hub is built on a very large scale, and its rooms mix design classics with newer, forward-looking furnishings rather than a single uniform look. The public areas on the lower floors work as a social hub, with Hub Bar opening early for a double americano and carrying on into the evening as an urban meeting spot popular with locals as well as guests.
The real draw is upstairs. Norda, on the 13th floor, pairs Nordic ingredients with flavors from across the world and frames the meal with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Opera House, the Bjørvika waterfront and the Oslofjord. On bright days the large windows open to let in light and the sound of the city. Above it all, the GrowHub rooftop garden grows herbs and vegetables, giving the menu its locally sourced edge.
- Norda Restaurant: Nordic Fusion cooking on the 13th floor with panoramic views of the Opera House, Bjørvika and the fjord.
- Hub Bar: A lively ground-level bar serving coffee in the morning and drinks into the night.
- GrowHub Rooftop Garden: The hotel’s green roof, cultivating herbs and vegetables used in its kitchens.
- Design-Led Rooms: 810 rooms combining classic design pieces with modern solutions.
- Wellness Facilities: The hotel lists a wellness offering alongside flexible meeting and event spaces, useful for combined business and leisure stays.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Getting here is the easiest part of any Oslo trip. The Flytoget express connects to Oslo Gardermoen Airport in about 20 minutes, and the tram, T-bane and regional trains all stop at Oslo S, a one-minute walk from the lobby. If you want a window table at Norda for sunset over the fjord, book ahead, especially on summer weekends. The hotel’s size means check-in queues can build in the mid-afternoon, so arriving earlier or using online check-in helps. The building is a large modern complex with lifts to all floors, which suits guests with wheelchairs, strollers or heavy luggage; confirm adapted-room details with the hotel when booking.
The surroundings put Oslo’s main sights within easy reach. Karl Johans gate, the city’s central promenade, is a short walk away, as is the Bjørvika waterfront with the Opera House roof, which you can walk up for harbor views. The Munch Museum and the National Museum are each a short tram or walking trip, and Grünerløkka, with its cafes and independent shops, and Vigeland Park are both easily reached by tram.
