This 1907 grand riverfront dame, re-invented in 2013, succeeds in blending that golden age of architecture with the amenities of today. You feel like you're staying in an old hotel, without that fusty furniture feeling, false airs and graces or failing to balance old and new. The Hörnan is smart, affordable and honours the tradition of which it is part.
