Vårt varme, elektriske og inspirerende hus har plassert Amerikalinjen i det øvre siktet av hoteller i Norge siden starten. 

Amerikalinjen er nå et av de ledende high-end hotellene i Oslo. Hver dag strekker vi oss etter å skape en destinasjon hvor lokale og tilreisende vil få oppleve personlige og unike opplevelser.

Lev ut din lidenskap for Brasserie

 

Amerikalinjen tilbyr flere spennende mat- og drikkekonsept, alle dypt inspirert av vår rike historie og beliggenhet. Samtlige serveringssteder har et målrettet fokus på det lokale markedet, og vi har en målrettet strategi for å være markedsledende innenfor respektive segment.
