A new hotel property opened in one of the most distinctive buildings in Oslo, Norway. Amerikalinjen, a deceptively intimate 122-room hotel, recently opened in the former headquarters of Norwegian America Line. In addition to hip rooms, the hotel is bolstered by exclusive restaurants and bars.

The property is located in a prime spot, just a short walk from Oslo’s bustling downtown and the Bjørvika neighborhood, where a new museum and library will give visitors plenty to experience.

The hotel’s concept, “People in Motion,” was informed by its location inside a former cruise line’s headquarters. The building still sports its original façade and wide hallways. Rooms are identifiable thanks to high ceilings and paned windows. The suites are converted from the board rooms of the former headquarters.

A number of the restaurants and bars create common areas for hotel guests and Oslo locals to mix in. Atlas, an all-day brasserie serves European cuisine influenced by New York’s culinary scene. Haven is a common area at the building’s center. A glass ceiling provides natural lighting. The area is perfect for guests to get work done in a collaborative environment with their laptop and a cup of coffee.

A dominant local motif ties the entire property together, making sure guests have something truly Norwegian to experience during their stay. Check out the hotel online.
