A smooth, firmly defined, grassy slope follows the planned railway track along the entire access area. This park-line feature is drawn right up to the hotel’s important main storey. The aim is to allow this natural greenery to dominate the public rooms, the vestibule, bars, meeting rooms and restaurants, as much as possible, as the hotel lies in the centre of Norway’s busiest communications hub. The hotel wings, housing the guest rooms, have been raised high on slim columns, permitting an unrestricted view beneath.
