Hotel Verdandi Oslo opened mid September 2018 and is a 3,5 star hotel with a total of 170 rooms, including two different standard rooms (Comfort and Plus), Superior rooms and spacious Deluxe rooms with upgraded furniture and all imaginable equipment. The building was built in 1994 and clearly represents its tight lines and powerful columns, which is the early 1990s were referred to as modernist architecture. The street has got its name after Vice Admiral Peter Wessel Tordenskiold, who lived from 1690 to 1720. You will find us in the heart of Oslo City Centre, about 200 yards from the Parliament, and 800 yards from Akershus Festning (Akershus Fortress). The hotel is modernized and furnished by our eminent interior designers at Room2Room, and has a consistently modern and delicate interior, with clear roots for our Nordic heritage. The hotel has got its name after the Old Norse word «verdandi», which means «present time/beginning». The name and the meaning are chosen so that our employees, management and guests will never forget how important the present are, and that our future is always influenced by how we manage our present. The name Verdandi was originally written in the Old Norse language, and for that reason you will find the letter ð written in capital letters (Ð) in the hotel logo.
