Amerikalinjen

OSLO, NORWAY

The history of Amerikalinjen began in 1919 when it housed the Norwegian America Line offices, which operated ocean ships to link Norway and the United States. The edifice came to represent optimism, adventure, and the possibility of a new life after these ships transported thousands of Norwegians over the Atlantic in search of better possibilities. By maintaining the building's historic grandeur and adding modern amenities and design, the hotel commemorates its legacy today.

The hotel's architecture is a magnificent combination of modern competence and Art Nouveau charm. The interiors have been updated with a stylish, modern feel, while the historic façade, with its elaborate decorations and commanding presence, has been painstakingly brought back to its previous splendor. Huge windows, grand staircases, and high ceilings combine to create an open, light-filled room that is both opulent and cozy.

The 122 guestrooms and suites at the hotel are all decorated to capture the essence of the transatlantic voyage. The design creates a calm and elegant mood by fusing Scandinavian minimalism with nautical themes. Luxurious furnishings, polished wood floors, and dim lighting add to the feeling of luxury, and contemporary conveniences like fast Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and opulent bathrooms guarantee a restful and comfortable stay. While a few units provide views of the quiet courtyard or the busy Jernbanetorget plaza, all offer a tranquil haven in the middle of the city.

The Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art and the Munch Museum highlight Norway's artistic accomplishments, while the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History and the Viking Ship Museum, both located close, provide intriguing insights into the country's past for history buffs. Amerikalinjen offers the ideal starting place for your travels, whether your interests are discovering Oslo's rich cultural legacy, perusing its chic stores, or just meandering through its charming alleyways.
