Discover Sweden’s Top Hotels – Culinary Hotel Awards Sweden 2026
Which hotel in Sweden serves the best breakfast? Who has the top hotel bar, the finest restaurant, the richest coffee, or the most impressive wine list?
On March 23, 2026, the Culinary Hotel Awards Sweden returned for its second year—building on the success of its debut and proving that the momentum is here to stay. Once again, the awards set out to spotlight the very best in food and beverage experiences across Swedish hotels.
Over six months, the expert jury traveled from Ystad in the south to Riksgränsen in the north—visiting everything from grand destinations to hidden gems, all in pursuit of the country’s most outstanding culinary hotel experiences.
