Spring Snow at Hotel Christiania Teater Oslo
April 24, 2016
Yes, it snowed today in Oslo, which is apparently quite normal for April 24th. We had lunch outside in the snow with lots of others.

Teatro lobby
We’re staying at the Hotel Christiana Teater which looks like a boutique and acts like a boutique but is actually part of the Choice Hotels chain.
Lots of hip and sass, even from the front desk staff (which is quite charming).
A quick lunch at Olivia (decent Italian, though definitely in Norway) was followed by some time at the Viking Boat Museum and the Munch Museum. About that Maplethorpe, Munch and Viking Ships.
Then it was back to see what our rooms were like. We were originally assigned 618 which looked like this with all our stuff.

618 is small with a fantastic shower though
A quick look at the map on the door revealed the room we wanted—620. That’s where we are now. A corner suite with quirky alcoves, a nice big bathroom, and multiple rooms.

620 bedroom

620 sitting room (with extra alcove)

620 hallway

Desk alcove

Reading and Philosophy Alcove
The bathroom gets a big thumbs up. Heated floors, lots of marble, cool sinks.
