Quality Hotel Panorama

  • Trondheim, NO
The Quality Hotel™ Panorama, expanded and reimagined with interior architecture by Oslo-based HAEG Interiørarkitektur (Nina Hæg and Camilla Akersveen), is a landmark high-rise retreat housed in a towering contemporary extension joined to the iconic 1980s building affectionately nicknamed "the milk carton" on Tiller in southern Trondheim. The interior narrative themed Monumental Scale and Intimate Comfort explores the tension between large-scale conference hospitality and domestic warmth by breaking up expansive volumes into inviting, human-scaled zones.

The hotel features three hundred and twenty-seven rooms split into versatile layouts ranging from streamlined standard doubles to playful family quarters and duplex suites. Standard Rooms draw inspiration from cocooning Nordic warmth with bespoke upholstered headboards utilizing earth-toned textiles alongside dark wood accents and painted ceiling transitions that visually lower the room proportions. The Eagle’s Nest Family Rooms and Mezzanine Suites celebrate elevated living through clever multi-level layouts featuring lofted sleeping areas and open desks positioned as spatial dividers that frame panoramic views over the Trondheimsfjord, Tillermarka, and the Granåsen ski jump.

Public spaces are designed as a series of connected, semi-private living lounges with the arrival zone divided into three welcoming reception satellites as a nod to approachable, personal hospitality. Specialized social zones include the tranquil Library Lounge anchored by a communal power-equipped table, the vibrant breakfast dining room partitioned by transparent decorative shelving, and the energetic lobby social hub which is a lively communal nook filled with shuffleboard tables, soft-serve ice cream stations, and casual seating.

The furniture is a mix of contemporary Scandinavian silhouettes and bespoke architectural joinery with most decorative shelving, integrated conference benches, and room headboards custom-designed specifically for this site. A notable design focus integrates custom-milled walnut veneer acoustic walls, bespoke sideboards, and layered ambient lighting fixtures exclusive to this property while transparent room dividers were engineered to maintain airy sightlines across the expanded conference and lounge floors.

The design utilizes a warm, grounding earthy palette such as muted terracotta, rich walnut brown, soft sand, and deep charcoal across tactile upholstery and subtle matte wall finishes. Dramatic panoramic glazing is celebrated throughout the newly built tower including expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that capture Trondheim’s shifting Nordic light and surrounding natural terrain. The sprawling multi-zone lobby lounge serves as a dynamic crossroads for business delegates, families, and weekend travelers alike while dark walnut veneers meet warm woven textiles, brushed metal accents, and transparent shelving in the social salons to emphasize a diverse material mix.
