Area: 540 m²

Floor plan

In 2008-2009 The Samfunnssalen (the Community room) was given a facelift in the form of a totally renovated restaurant, new furniture, and a new interior in the break area outside the hall, as well as a new premium quality sound system. The combination of the modern and the historical makes the hall especially unique and popular.

The hall, measuring 540 m², is ideal for all purposes, whether you’re planning a banquet, a Christmas dinner, a conference, national meeting, fair, or the like.

Connected to the hall is a 100 m² veranda and restaurant facility with capacity to serve a seated lunch to 356 people. Larger groups are offered a standing lunch buffet.

The Samfunnsalen is one of our rooms with the highest daily occupancy growth rates. A major advantage of hiring this hall in particular is that it is completely detached. There will be no spill-over or overlap with customers from other sections of Oslo Congress Centre.

Samfunnsalen is directly across the street from Oslo Congress Centre, Arbeidersamfunnets plass 1, next to Sentrum Scene. See map.
