At a glance
Amerikalinjen occupies the former headquarters of the Norwegian America Line shipping company, a landmark building in central Oslo dating back to 1919.
The interior blends period detail with a distinctly contemporary energy.
Original features such as ornate ceilings and grand staircases sit alongside a lively restaurant and bar scene that has made the hotel one of Oslo’s most talked about addresses. Rooms are compact but well considered, favoring character over scale, while the building’s central location places guests within easy reach of the city’s main attractions.
Few hotels balance heritage and buzz this well, and Amerikalinjen manages both with genuine confidence.
Highlights
- Housed in the historic 1919 headquarters of the Norwegian America Line shipping company

Further information
Dining
Amerikalinjen is as much a destination for Oslo locals as hotel guests, with several restaurants and bars operating under one roof. The offering ranges from an all-day brasserie to a moody cocktail bar, giving the hotel a social energy rarely found elsewhere in the city.
Wellness
Amerikalinjen favors atmosphere over spa facilities, with well-appointed rooms, considered lighting, and a calm sense of design throughout. Guests looking to unwind will find more value in the hotel’s quieter corners and lounges than in dedicated wellness amenities.
Location
Set in the heart of Oslo, Amerikalinjen sits within walking distance of the harbor at Aker Brygge, the Nobel Peace Center, and the city’s main shopping streets, making it an easy base for exploring the center on foot.
Norway
Norway is one of the best places to visit on earth for those wanting to see the Northern Lights. This fascinating and breathtaking country is blessed with some of the world’s most beautiful green landscapes, sweeping snow-capped mountain ranges, and vast lakes. All of this world-class scenery makes Norway a fantastic choice for thrill-seekers and luxury relaxers alike.
Our Experts
Oslo is one of my favorite cities in Europe and somewhere I believe to be criminally overlooked. It's got something for everyone and there's always an event or festival to be enjoyed.
Norway can easily be combined with Sweden or Denmark for the perfect Scandinavian adventure. We've got group trips that encompass all three and can also craft bespoke itineraries that do the same.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
