Hotel Bristol is a hotel in Oslo, Norway. Opened in 1920, it is owned today by Olav Thon. The hotel has 251 rooms, 10 suites and three restaurants.[1]

On the evening of July 15th 1936, the city of Oslo offered at the hotel a dinner for participants in the 1936 International Congress of Mathematicians.[2]

In 1939, the Oslo Report was written by Hans Ferdinand Mayer during his stay at the hotel.[3] During World War II, the hotel was requisitioned as a hospital to treat casualties from the December 1943 explosion of a German munitions ship in Oslo's harbor.[4]
