Any other norwegians here anyway? :P

If built, I think this hotel would become the 4th highest building in Norway (all silly towers excluded)

Wow, nice! Let's hope it gets a better faith than the previous highrise hotel proposal in Drammen.

Velkommen til S&B, vi er flere nordmenn her :cheers:

Like I've said before, why not? All these proposals wouldn't come around unless there was a market for them... I'm optimistic! ;)

I found some more info. No more images though.

3 below ground floors car parking
Floors Ground - 2 are for 'business use' (conferences etc I guess)
8 floors for 200 hotel rooms on top

They hope to start constructions in 2007 and it will take about 18 months to top up.
Apparently there is a need for more hotel rooms in Drammen and this new one placed next to the main train station should be perfect.
The Mayor is excited ;)

The Mayor is excited about nearly everything planned in Drammen...

The lot the hotel is planned on was originally planned to be a parking garage, so they're just pushing the parking downstairs :)

If built the hotel will totally dwarf the hotel across the street which is 5 stories tall.

The bus station is 20 metres away and the railway station is 150 metres, so it's located quite central.
