Welcome to our boutique hotel – perfectly situated in central Bergen
Hotel Oleana is inspired by Ole Bull, a violinist, composer and international superstar born only a stone’s throw from the hotel.
This extraordinary Bergen man lived life to the full and had visionary ideas. Oleana was the name of a utopian colony Ole Bull founded for Norwegians in Pennsylvania, USA.
The name still symbolizes creativity, an open mind, and a little bit of Norwegian wildness.
Historical Ground
For several hundred years, Ole Bull’s square has been at heart of much of the city’s cultural life and is to this day a meeting point for the city’s population. Fashionable hotels on Ole Bull’s square have welcomed guests for generations. Our beautiful hotel building from 1925 has been completely renovated and rebuilt into a spectacular and modern hotel in the spirit of Ole Bull.
The violinist and composer Ole Bull was perhaps the world’s first superstar
He celebrated musical triumphs all over the world, from his debut at home in Bergen as an eight-year-old with Harmonien’s orchestra, until he played “På solen jeg ser” high up on the Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. Oleana was the name of a utopian colony Ole Bull founded for Norwegians in the USA. The name still symbolizes creativity, an open mind and a little bit of Bergen wildness.
Our rooms and atmosphere will give you a spectacular hotel experience

It is colorful, daring, resilient, passionate and will give you a feeling of the good life. Here you’ll find stylish designer furniture, fun and burlesque artwork, large Italian chandeliers, luxurious English bathtubs; and of course, our Oleana suites with balconies facing Ole Bulls square.
