Hällsnäs Hotel & Restaurant, the serene lakeside retreat just 20 minutes from central Gothenburg, is set to elevate its guest experience with the addition of 32 new rooms, including four exclusive lakeside sauna suites.
The expansion, scheduled to open in February 2026, marks a new chapter for the historic property, blending Swedish wellness traditions with contemporary luxury.
Nestled on the shores of Lake Landvettersjön, Hällsnäs has long been a favourite for business travellers and leisure guests seeking a peaceful escape within easy reach of the city. The new suites will offer direct lake access, private saunas, and panoramic views—designed to immerse guests in nature while providing the comforts of a high-end stay.
The expansion reflects a growing demand for wellness-led hospitality in Sweden, particularly among travellers looking to combine productivity with restoration. Each of the new rooms will feature Scandinavian design cues—natural wood, soft textiles, and floor-to-ceiling windows—creating a warm, minimalist aesthetic that complements the surrounding landscape.
Culinary Excellence at Restaurant Signum
Also onsite is the acclaimed Restaurant Signum, a destination in its own right. Led by Executive Chef Thomas Sjögren, the restaurant holds two Michelin stars and a coveted Green Star for sustainability. The menu is rooted in hyper-local sourcing and seasonal creativity, with ingredients often foraged or grown on the estate. Guests can expect multi-course tasting experiences that celebrate the region’s culinary heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern Nordic cuisine.
Restaurant Signum’s lakeside setting and intimate dining room make it a compelling choice for both celebratory dinners and discreet business meetings. The wine programme is equally ambitious, with a cellar that balances classic European vintages and emerging biodynamic producers.
A Destination for Business and Leisure
With its proximity to Gothenburg Landvetter Airport and the city centre, Hällsnäs is well-positioned for corporate retreats, executive offsites, and incentive travel. The property offers a range of meeting spaces, outdoor activities, and tailored experiences—from lakeside yoga to forest walks and wine tastings.
The addition of the sauna suites enhances Hällsnäs’ appeal as a year-round destination, particularly during Sweden’s colder months when the contrast of hot sauna and icy lake is a cherished ritual.
As the hospitality landscape continues to evolve, Hällsnäs Hotel & Restaurant stands out for its ability to offer both stillness and sophistication—where nature, gastronomy, and wellness converge in perfect balance.
