Luxury Oslo hotel The Thief has opened its new spa facility a year after the initial hotel opening.

The Thief Spa, which opened on 14 March, has adopted spa cultures from around the world and brings them together to offer a range of treatments.

The 800sq m (8,611sq ft) spa features a pool, experience showers, several types of sauna, five treatment rooms plus an additional VIP-treatment room, a complete beauty lounge, spa shop, spa bar and a gym fully equipped Technogym fitness centre.

Rituals have been taken from Turkish Hamams, Moroccan rhassoul and German Aufgusse then recreated with an ambience inspired by the natural landscape of Norway. For detoxifying treatments, the signature Laminaria Algae facial uses algae handpicked from the Irish coast.

Also available on request are in-room spa treatments, personal training sessions, a hairdresser and a make-up stylist.

Thief Spa uses a number of product lines, with Carita, Babor, Voya and Priori all on offer.

Designed by Danish architecture firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen, with additional design from Anemone Wille-Vage – also responsible for interiors of the hotel – the spa adheres to the principles of clean Nordic design and is located in an adjacent building to the hotel.
