The Thief, Oslo: Steal away for a stay with art and soul

A cast iron Antony Gormley statue bent over in prayer on the pavement is the first indication that at The Thief, you get to enjoy the kind of art that wouldn't be out of place in a museum. The hotel, in Tjuvholmen, Oslo's neighbourhood-du-jour, claims to pay the highest insurance premiums of any hotel in the world for its art. Among its collection is an Andy Warhol, a snip at £1.7m, hanging almost as an afterthought at the back of the restaurant, while a large Richard Prince painting, The Horse Thief, dominates the reception area.
