Home Hotel Grand Olav
- Trondheim, NO
The Home Hotel Grand Olav, extensively renovated in 2024 as part of the Strawberry hospitality portfolio, is a culturally rooted urban retreat housed in the landmark 1989 Olavskvartalet cultural complex directly integrated with Trondheim's iconic Olavshallen Concert Hall. The interior narrative themed Backstage Elegance and Nordic Domesticity explores the tension between theatrical performance energy and intimate residential comfort by blending musical heritage with warm Scandinavian living.
The hotel features one hundred and six rooms split into generous, residential layouts ranging from streamlined standard doubles to expansive family quarters and studio suites. Standard and Superior Rooms draw inspiration from understated Nordic warmth with bespoke platform beds utilizing clean-lined storage alongside ergonomic workspaces and sound-insulated glazing. The Studio Suites and Family Rooms celebrate spacious city living through dedicated lounge areas with sofa beds along with tall windows framing views over central Trondheim or into the concert hall's glass-covered atrium.
Public spaces are designed as a welcoming domestic salon that flows directly into the city's cultural pulse with the renovated reception featuring warm ambient lighting and acoustic paneling as a nod to the property's long-standing nickname "Backstage" among visiting musicians and artists. Specialized social zones include the communal dining room serving daily breakfast, afternoon fika, and seasonal evening meals, alongside the intimate lobby bar which is a relaxed social nook filled with plush lounge seating and pre-concert camaraderie.
The furniture is a mix of contemporary Scandinavian silhouettes and tailored contract carpentry with most room headboards, modular lounge seating, and dining banquettes custom-designed specifically for this site. A notable design focus integrates acoustic soft furnishings, tactile upholstery, and warm timber joinery exclusive to this property while bespoke minimalist lighting fixtures and streamlined en-suite vanities were introduced during the 2024 revitalization.
The design utilizes a comforting, theatrical palette such as deep stage blue, warm terracotta, soft sand, and natural oak across textured wall treatments and plush woven carpets. Musical nuances are curated throughout the interiors including subtle acoustic detailing, curated artwork, and direct architectural passageways connecting guests to Olavshallen's performance stages. The central dining and lobby salon serves as an effortless home-away-from-home gathering hub for travelers and performers alike while blonde timber surfaces meet brushed brass accents, rich velvet upholstery, and soft acoustic drapery in the social spaces to emphasize a diverse material mix.
