Elite Hotels was founded by Bicky Chakraborty, whose vision of restoring beautiful hotels to their former glory is carried on through his daughter and Elite Hotels owner Caroline Chakraborty. We also continue to create new hotel experiences with the goal of making them the city's natural meeting point and pride. Today we offer over 40 central hotels across Sweden, the gastropub chain The Bishops Arms, Vana Spa and many unique restaurants. Welcome to Elite Hotels!

Our concept

Our business concept is to offer a modern and efficient service business in historic hotels and to offer restaurants of high quality in major Swedish cities. We also offer newly built, modern hotels at selected locations with a sense of tradition, quality and flair. In addition to the core business of managing accommodation and conference facilities for business travellers and tourists, our hotels and restaurants, pubs, and/or nightclubs aims to be a meeting place for both hotel guests and locals.

Our product

First-class hotels and restaurants centrally located in major Swedish cities. Our main offer is directed towards business and leisure travel. Within the framework of this concept, a number of well-established restaurants are operated in our hotels. Some have received a lot of attention in the press over the years. SSRS Holding AB also owns the pub chain The Bishops Arms, with gastropubs in established locations around Sweden.

Our overall goals

Elite Hotels aims to have Sweden's most classic hotels in the country's larger cities. With the help of our staff's commitment and knowledge, we will secure and cherish the quality and tradition of our hotels and restaurants. We will have a flexible collaboration and exchange between our hotels.

Sustainability & environment

Elite Hotels works actively at destinations where we operate with environmental and CSR issues. All Elite hotels are certified by Green Key, which is the leading international eco-label for facilities in the tourism industry. We strive to promote positive and sustainable development in society and care for our current and future generations to ensure a good and healthy environment.

History of Elite Hotels

It all began at the end of the 1950s when the Stockholm Student Union came up with an exciting business idea. The idea was to offer empty student rooms as hotel rooms during the summer, and needless to say, it became a success. The organization was run as a foundation until 1980, when it was transformed into a corporation, SSRS Holding AB, with Bicky Chakraborty at the helm. Three years later, the prestigious Hotel Savoy in Malmö was acquired, and the journey towards today’s quality profile began. Since 1991, the organisation has been run under the name Elite Hotels of Sweden.

Tradition

Most hotels in the Elite Group have played an essential part in the city where the hotel is located. The hotels are often associated with positive experiences and highlights in life for several generations of residents as well as for visiting guests. Many important people have chosen to visit the historic hotels that are now part of Elite Hotels. We manage an important cultural heritage and are proud of our long tradition of service and hotel management. Our modern hotels are characterized by our traditional approach, combined with a modern interior and concept.

Quality

The concept of quality is not very easy to describe because the meaning varies depending on who you ask. For us at Elite Hotels, quality is about understanding our customers' needs and wishes to create a complete experience with a sense for details. Quality is about perceived reality, not about false predictions.

Flair

In the world of Elite Hotels, flair stands for experiences and enjoyment. We do not just rent out beds. We deliver positive and memorable experiences that include everything from beautiful surroundings and great food to first-class service. We will do our best to put a silver lining to your stay.

The Bishops Arms

An authentic gastropub experience

If you enjoy the classic English pub environment, The Bishops Arms is the place for you!

The gastropub serves an affordable pub menu, a wide range of beers and up to 250 kinds of single malt whiskey. Guests at The Bishops Arms enjoy talking to each other. Therefore, we have chosen not to have any TVs and keep the music at a low volume. Welcome to hang out at The Bishops Arms!
