Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Oslo, formerly Radisson SAS Plaza Hotel, Oslo,[1] known locally as Oslo Plaza,[1] is situated in Oslo city centre. At 117 metres (384 ft) tall, it is Norway's second tallest building.[2]
The building was designed by the architectural firm White.se and completed in 1989. The hotel was officially opened on 14 March 1990, by King Olav V of Norway. In 1992, a footbridge was built between the hotel and the Oslo Spektrum arena. The hotel was remodeled in 2012.[3]
The hotel has 37 floors and 678 rooms.[4] There are a total of 1,500 beds, 140 business rooms and 20 suites. The tower's foundations are concrete, and it has reflective glass facades. The uppermost floors are tapered with a steep diagonal roof on one side, leading to a sharp ridge. It also has an external glass elevator, which travels up to the bar/restaurant at the top. A lower block, three floors tall, contains the entrance, a lobby, restaurants and conference rooms.
On the thirty-third and thirty-fourth floors (the top of the building), there is a swimming pool and a sauna.[5][6]
