Helenekilde Badehotel, Tisvildeleje
Boutique weekends in Scandinavia
A boutique hotel is often what makes a weekend memorable – personal service, thoughtful decor, and a feeling of staying somewhere with its own character rather than a hotel among others. In Scandinavia, there are some of Europe's most charming small hotels, from converted patrician houses in city centers to seaside spa hotels.
Here we collect boutique hotels in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland – such as Ett Hem and Hotel Skeppsholmen in Stockholm, Hotel Sanders in Copenhagen, Helenekilde Badehotel on North Zealand, and Hotel Brosundet in Ålesund. Find a hotel that feels as special as the journey there.
