A Historic Swedish Hotel Sets Its Sights on the World Stage

Grand Hôtel Saltsjöbaden Spa & Resort has always had the bones of a grand resort hotel. Opened in 1893 on the initiative of banker and politician Knut Agathon Wallenberg, the waterfront property was conceived as Sweden’s answer to the great European coastal hotels of its era. More than 130 years later, it is being carefully reworked for a new chapter. One in which gastronomy, wellness and hospitality are intended to become as much of a draw as the setting itself.
