After Holmenkollen Turisthotell burned down in 1914, the sanatorium use converted into use as a hotel. During World War II, the hotel was in possession of German officials. The hotel was modernized in 1948, and again in 1982 for FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1982. The latest renovation was completed in 1991, when the hotel was expanded with a conference center designed by Hans-Gabriel Finne.
