The house
Park 29 occupies Oslo's oldest wooden villa, an 1847 townhouse in leafy Homansbyen once home to composer Halfdan Kjerulf. Elegant rooms, history in every wall, and a two-minute walk from the Royal Palace and Karl Johans gate.

In the warmer months, Park 29's garden terrace is one of the loveliest places to eat in the city — a hidden oasis under flowering lilacs, tucked away yet minutes from the centre of Oslo.

The location
Central Oslo, two minutes from the Royal Palace
Park 29 sits in the leafy Homansbyen district just west of the Royal Palace gardens, at the foot of Hegdehaugsveien. For anyone staying in central Oslo, it's an easy walk from Karl Johans gate, the National Theatre and most of the city's hotels — a quieter, more characterful alternative to the busy restaurants along the main street.
A royal connection
The 1847 villa that houses Park 29 was designed by Hans Ditlev Franciscus von Linstow — the same architect responsible for the Royal Palace at the top of Karl Johans gate. One of Oslo's finest examples of Swiss-style timber architecture, the house has welcomed diners, dignitaries and Christiania's artistic elite for well over a century.
