PB hotel design editorial

From 1919 until the jet age gradually grounded it, the building at Jernbanetorget 2 served as the headquarters of the Norwegian America Line, dispatching generations of emigrants across the Atlantic from its position beside Oslo's central station. That seafaring past now gives Amerikalinjen much of its atmosphere — the hotel takes its name directly from those transatlantic routes, and the conversion, completed in 2019 by interior studio Scenario Interiørarkitekter, leans into the building's mercantile grandeur rather than smoothing it away. The Jugendstil facade, with its distinctive crimson render and limestone base, commands the square with the confidence of an institution that once measured distance in ocean miles. Inside, 122 rooms deploy navy velvet headboards, herringbone oak parquet, antique-effect mirror panels, and amber pendant clusters — materials chosen to evoke both the glamour and the practicality of liner travel. The original plasterwork medallions survive intact in the upper-floor suites, set against contemporary furnishings in warm oak and black steel that keep the mood from tipping into pastiche. The interior courtyard, its original terracotta brick walls now glazed over with a steel-and-glass roof, functions as the hotel's social core: teak-slatted furniture, tropical planting, and blue banquette seating arranged beneath pendant lights that recall navigation instruments. The ground-floor restaurant carries the same vocabulary — dark herringbone ceramic tiles behind an open kitchen, brass pendants, bentwood chairs — grounded enough to feel like a neighbourhood fixture rather than a hotel amenity.

"This is a trendy hotel in an extremely central location. It's right next to Oslo S station, walkable to the Oslo Opera House, walkable to Karl Johans Gate. Location cannot be beat. The hotel itself is a remodeled old railway station and has a trendy combination of Old world and modern decor which is appealing. The staff is super friendly and accommodating which makes the stay very comfortable. The breakfast is scrumptious and extensive, and should not be missed. All in all you will not go too wrong on any dimension if you pick this hotel! Things that could be improved: The restaurant attached to the hotel has a fairly limited menu outside of breakfast. Service is okay but not great, some of the staff seem new and inexperienced. Plenty of other options available in the area so caveat emptor."

"This is a great hotel. Our rooms were clean, spacious and had a modern art deco look. We had breakfast at the hotel two mornings in a row and everything was delicious. One of those mornings our table was at the atrium, which is beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our flight was leaving very early in the morning, and since the restaurant would not be open for breakfast yet, they made sure to have bagels and coffee ready for us at the lobby so we could take them with us to the airport. The location is perfect too. The Opera House, Karl Johan's gate, the central train station are all less than a 10 minute walk. Centrally located, so it was very easy to get there from the central train station. Plenty of shopping and dining options around as well. Definitely would stay here again."

"Fantastic location – a short stroll from the Central train station. The building has an attractive aesthetic and an interesting history (the HQ for the Norwegian American Shipping Company). Check in was ok albeit it felt a little generic. What was immediately apparent was significant building work taking place behind the hotel which I didn’t notice on the website when I booked ( I would have thought the hotel would have warned clients). The room we were allocated was big enough and the bathroom have a cool art deco feel about it plus the water pressure from the shower was very good. Interestingly there wasn’t any water in the rooms however the water in Oslo is fine to drink. The walls are thin and provide an opportunity to acquaint yourself with your neighbour’s activities. The room was decent value for money as was the breakfast (included). The breakfast area had a nice cost feel to it and the service was efficient. Checkout was a breeze and very pleasant. Shout out to the bubbly lady on the front desk (with the Australian husband)."
