Thon Hotels is committed

All self-owned Thon hotels are Eco-Lighthouse certified and we have employees who work continuously to reduce energy consumption and food waste.

As one of Norway's largest hotel chains, Thon Hotels is a door opener to working life for many without education or work experience.
