Thon Hotels (formerly known as Rainbow Hotels) is owned by Olav Thon and was established in 1989. The Norwegian Olav Thon bought his first hotel in 1974, Hotel Bristol[1] in Oslo. In 1983 Thon bought his second hotel, before he founded Rainbow Hotel in 1989, which included 10 hotels.

Over the next couple of decades, the hotel chain grew in numbers, and Thon extended his hotel business to Brussels in 1995 when he bought two hotels in the Belgium capital.

Rainbow Hotels rebranded to Thon Hotels in 2005, and is currently the 3rd largest hotel chain in Norway with 50-odd hotels in Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands.
