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.

"One of those rare hotels that feels like a story rather than just a place to sleep. The building was once the headquarters of the Norwegian America Line, the transatlantic shipping company, and that heritage is woven into the whole experience — from small design details in the rooms to a wonderful little lounge dedicated to old books, photographs, and period documents from the shipping line's history. It gives the place a genuine sense of personality that's hard to find in most hotels. The room itself was beautifully designed, spotless, and thoroughly welcoming. The staff were exceptional throughout — genuinely kind and attentive at every turn, never intrusive but always there when needed. Breakfast was excellent, both in variety and quality — a real highlight to start the day. The restaurant was equally impressive. And then there's the cocktail bar — phenomenal. Inventive, beautifully made cocktails, full of character. If you stay here, this alone is worth making time for. A hotel with real personality from top to bottom. Highly, highly recommended."

"We stayed for 3 nights in Oslo. Great location by the train station and within walking distance of Harbour activities like Opera House and Munch Museum. Not to mention Harbour cruises. Hotel room small but comfortable. Unfortunately not overly quiet at our visit because of construction next door but they gave us some room credit when my husband complained about the noise. Included breakfast was superb with dozens of choices for every diet requirement."

"This is my second stay at Amerikalinjen, the first time I stayed an entire weekend. I had been looking forward to this for a while and was not disappointed. The hotel is very comfortable with great service around every turn. We stayed in a superior room during a heat wave in southern Norway and was worried about feeling too warm. That was not a problem. The room was air conditioned and there was a fan there too. Every day we got delicious cookies on a paper with the following days weather forecast. The bed and sheets are super comfortable. The bathroom wasn’t large, but the shower was roomy and there was great smelling body wash, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. I even bought some to take home. The breakfast was spectacular. You get a limited menu to order from, fresh pressed orange juice and a lovely buffet with among other things, fresh berries. Amerikalinjen is my new favorite hotel. ❤️"

"For the price and the fact it’s only a 4 star I thought it was really good. Very stylish, rooms were nice (not huge but good), gym is good, food is pretty good and the staff were really lovely. Only feedback id give is the room service menu could do with more options but what I did order was good. Location is also great, very central"

"On the positive side, hotel is well located just across from airport train shuttle. Nice staff; good breakfast. Room equipped with quite nice modern bathroom, BUT our room itself was ridiculously small and poorly laid out - e.g., the one chair in the room was completely blocked by a huge plasma tv mounted on an easel! Bed so close to closet you had to edge in sideways! C’mon guys!"
