Holmenkollen Park Hotel Rica – Oslo, Norway

I’d like to stay at this place someday. Located near the ski jump in Oslo, when I last visited in 2011 the Oslo Metro was being extended to this part of the city. Perhaps it is done now.

This building has a rich history. Initially a sanatorium in the 19th Century, the Germans occupied the place during World War 2. I love the dragestil (dragon style) architecture. It reminds me of a colorful Stave Church.
