Would you stay in a hotel called 'The Thief'?

In the eighteenth century, the tiny island of Tjuvholmen was where Norway’s most dangerous criminals were exiled and executed.

Now, the area is Oslo’s hottest district for art and architecture.

The latest addition to the Scandinavian cultural hub is a cool new boutique hotel named after the area’s sordid history.

Slated to open on January 9, The Thief hotel takes its name from Tjuvholmen’s nickname, “Thief Island.”
