Hotel Continental and Theatercaféen in Kristiania (now Oslo) opened during 1900 and were originally owned by the Foss Brewery.

The hotel's dining place, Theatercaféen, came to be one of the most popular in Kristiania, and a favourite among actors, writers and journalists.

The hotel is owned and operated today by Caroline and Christian Hansen's descendants in the fourth generation.
