Quality Hotel Augustin

  • Trondheim, NO
The Quality Hotel™ Augustin, continuously welcoming guests since 1915 and updated through successive modernizations including interior work by Oslo-based studio One Room, is a historic city-center retreat housed in a six-story heritage landmark on Kongens Gate in the heart of Trondheim. The interior narrative themed Historic Elegance and Contemporary Warmth explores the tension between early twentieth-century civic character and approachable Scandinavian hospitality by blending classical architectural proportions with lively, family-friendly comfort.

The hotel features one hundred and thirty-four rooms split into bright, functional layouts ranging from compact single accommodations to generous family quarters and corner suites. Standard and Superior Rooms draw inspiration from understated Nordic practicality with bespoke platform beds utilizing streamlined storage alongside dedicated study desks and sound-insulated glazing. The Nidaros Suite celebrates residential grandeur through a dedicated living room along with two full bathrooms and elevated views framing central Trondheim’s historic rooftops and surrounding spires.

Public spaces are designed as an inviting, multi-functional civic living room that connects business delegates and leisure travelers to the pulse of Midtbyen. The entry lobby flows into flexible conference salons and welcoming lounge areas as a nod to the building’s century-long tradition as a neighborhood gathering landmark. Specialized social zones include the bright morning breakfast salon for hearty Scandinavian buffets and The Social Lounge which is an energetic communal nook filled with shuffleboard tables, casual games, snacks, and evening drinks.

The furniture is a mix of contemporary Scandinavian contract pieces and custom-built carpentry with most reception counters, lounge seating, and room desks tailored specifically for this site. A notable design focus integrates durable, tactile contract upholstery, dark timber accents, and warm ambient lighting fixtures exclusive to this property while modernized en-suite bathrooms and flexible meeting technologies were engineered to support effortless modern stays.

The design utilizes a comforting and timeless Nordic palette such as warm sand, rich walnut brown, slate grey, and vibrant accent tones of burnt orange across painted walls and tailored upholstery. Heritage architectural character is preserved throughout the property including original multi-story window proportions and classic structural volumes dating back to 1915. The lively ground-floor Social Lounge serves as a spirited meeting point for families, conference guests, and locals alike while warm timber finishes meet glass tabletops, brushed metal hardware, and soft woven textiles in the social spaces to emphasize a diverse material mix.
