Hotell Borgholm

Top choice in Southeastern Sweden


Cool grey hues, bold feature walls, pine-wood floors and smart functionalist furniture make for stylish slumber at this urbane hotel. Rooms are spacious, with those on the top floor being especially chic. Owner Karin Fransson is one of Sweden’s top chefs, so a table at the restaurant here is best booked ahead (tasting menu with/without wine 2260/1295kr).
