Caroline Boman Hansen (10 August 1860 – 5 January 1956) was a Swedisn–Norwegian hotelier.

She was born in Östervåla, Sweden, to Claes Erik Boman and Carin Persdotter. She married waiter, later hotelier, Hans Christian Marinius Hansen (1868–1915) in 1891.[1]

She founded the Hotel Continental in Kristiania, and ran the hotel for many years, first along with her husband, and later jointly with her son. The hotel's dining place, Theatercaféen, came to be one of the most popular in Kristiania, and a favourite among actors, writers and journalists.[1][2]
