Welcome to our boutique hotel –\u00a0 perfectly situated in central Bergen<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Hotel Oleana is inspired by Ole Bull, a violinist, composer and international superstar born only a stone\u2019s throw from the hotel. <\/span><\/p>\n

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. <\/span><\/p>\n

The name still symbolizes creativity, an open mind, and a little bit of Norwegian wildness. <\/span><\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_blank_spacer height=”30px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_row element_name=”Row” wrap_type=”standard-width” row_bg_type=”color” color_row_height=”content-height” bg_type=”cover” parallax_image_height=”content-height” parallax_image_movement=”fixed” parallax_image_speed=”standard” bg_video_loop=”yes” parallax_video_height=”window-height” row_responsive_vis=”hidden-lg_hidden-md” row_top_style=”none” row_bottom_style=”none” parallax_video_overlay=”none” row_overlay_opacity=”0″ remove_element_spacing=”yes” row_col_spacing=”0″ row_col_pos=”default” row_col_equal_heights=”no” row_expanding=”no” row_animation=”none” row_animation_delay=”0″ minimize_row=”no” simplified_controls=”no” custom_css_percentage=”no” custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”52″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;padding-left: 52px;padding-right: 52px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Historical Ground<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The violinist and composer Ole Bull was perhaps the world’s first superstar<\/h3>\n

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 “P\u00e5 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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our rooms and atmosphere will give you a spectacular hotel experience<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The interior at Hotel Oleana was inspired by the art and culture in Ole Bulls exciting life, a concept we call \u201cViolin Art\u201d. It is colorful, daring, resilient, passionate and will give you a feeling of the good life. Here you\u2019ll 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. Whether you prefer a quiet superior room facing the backyard or a view of Fl\u00f8yen or a bold deluxe room with a round glass shower, our hotel rooms give you the choice.<\/p>\n
