Property details

Wake up next to a waterside Swedish fortress in the middle of the Stockholm Archipelago - includes breakfast, three-course dinner, bottle of wine, and more
  • Arresting archipelago scenes: Not only does Fredriksborg Hotel & Restaurant have you waking up next to a historic waterside fortress, the scenery from the front door and terrace is also highly unique. Cruise ships on their way to and from Stockholm glide by like silent giants, all against the backdrop of a magical water and forest panorama.

  • Waterfront dining: Past guests have applauded the fine dining in the restaurant, where a select menu features the highest-quality Swedish food. Adorned with plants and hanging lights, the light-filled Orangery is your go-to for coffee, fika, ice cream, a savoury snack or homemade bread. There's also a waterside terrace for gazing at the Oxdjupet strait - you could even hop in for a swim.

  • Soundless sleep: Guest rooms are uniquely decorated in keeping with the striking cream house with black roof. Completely renovated yet maintaining their 1700s character, you can expect patterned wallpaper and muted, calming tones of cream and light grey. 

How to get there

The hotel is located in Värmdö in the Stockholm Archipelago, about an hour away from the city centre. You can reach the hotel by car in just under an hour's drive, take the bus with one or two changes, or  drive via Vaxholm and take the car ferries from Vaxholm to Rindö, then Rindö to Värmdö.

Fredriksborgs Fortress, Fredriksborgsvägen 17, 139 90 Värmdö, Sweden

If you fancy holidaying on a quiet and scenic Swedish archipelago, this hotel's highly unique location offers tranquillity in spades. You'll be staying in northern Värmdö, Sweden's sixth largest island and surrounded by thousands more. Settle down in the waterfront garden to watch boats sailing serenely past or request information on rural walking trails at Reception. Why not hop from one Swedish fortress to another, driving and sailing by ferry the nine kilometres to the impressive 16th-century Vaxholm Fortress that stands proud on its own tiny island. This eye-popping journey takes around an hour.

A 40-minute drive south reveals Gustavsberg, Värmdö's main town and home to a historic porcelain factory and shop. Peruse fine art and crockery made from bone porcelain, before getting up-to-date with contemporary art inside Gustavsbergs Konsthall.
