The Swedish hotel industry continues to grow both in the number of hotels in the country and in overnight stays without taking into account the obvious decline due to the pandemic. New and better hotel projects continue to be implemented and allow tourists to book all kinds of rooms and stays in modern and cozy hotels in different categories.
These are some of the recently opened hotels in Stockholm and other places in Sweden.
Newly Opened Hotels in Stockholm
The Swedish capital is the tourist destination par excellence in the country and the place that hosts the most new and established hotels. I have already spoken on occasion of my recommended hotels in Stockholm.
The recent opened hotels in Stockholm are:
Hotel Ruth which occupies the premises of a 19th century building and is the first boutique hotel in the Vasastan neighborhood. The Hotel Ruth in Stockholm has 62 unique rooms decorated like classic Stockholm apartments.

Newly Opened Hotels in Gothenburg
In Gothenburg, the country’s second largest city, the hotel industry is also on the move. In the article where I explain what to do in Gothenburg I also talk about the hotels in Gothenburg that I like the most.
The hotel that is causing a lot of expectation in Gothenburg is the Jacy’z Hotel & Resort that will be part of the new 100 m high skyscraper that the city will have located behind the Ullevi stadium. It will occupy all 28 floors of the building and will feature a Miami-style pool and club on the top floor. In addition, the area called JQ will be the most exclusive with rooms inspired by Las Vegas from the 70s and pieces of art.

When it does, the Scandic Kiruna hotel will feature Sweden’s northernmost skybar with views of the mountains of Swedish Lapland. The U-shaped exterior of the hotel is inspired by two of the most magical natural attractions in this region: Kebnekaise Mountain and Lapporten, the mountains and valley that form the natural gateway to Lapland. The interior will reflect the seasons whose number in this part of the world amounts to 8 according to the Samis.
