Hotel information

About Elite Stadshotellet in Karlstad

We dare to say that the Elite Stadshotellet at the banks of the Klarälven in Karlstad is one of Sweden's most beautiful hotels, and when it was completed in 1870, it made an impressive impression that you can still see traces of. The building has been renovated in stages and carefully restored to retain its original details, all to give Elite Stadshotellet its genuine character and feel.

The hotel has 183 hotel rooms and is a full-service hotel that offers complete services for conferences, mingles and events for up to 250 people. Adjacent to the hotel is the gastropub The Bishops Arms, which is a popular meeting place for Karlstad residents, the hotel's guests, and visitors.

At Elite Stadshotellet there is also Vana spa with hammam and Rooftop by Vana with heated pool and pool bar. Under the open sky, visitors can both enjoy a fantastic view of the Klarälven and good food and drinks from the bar. From September to May are all hotel guests welcome to Rooftop by Vana, entrance to the rooftop pool is included in the accommodation price. From June to August, we offer our Rooftop packages.

Here you live just a few steps from shopping, entertainment, many activities and train and bus connections. However, our central location can mean, especially on weekends, that noise from nearby restaurants and nightclubs as well as from events at the hotel can be perceived as disturbing.

The hotel is also environmentally certified with the global environmental label Green Key.

Hotel history

In 1870, when the hotel was first opened, there was access to materials, skills, and expertise that we can only dream about today. Marble, hardwood, and chandeliers as well as stuccos and ornaments created a special atmosphere and contributed to the way that Stadshotellet in Karlstad still looks like today. It is all about true quality and craftsmanship!

Back in the days, the hotel was one of the largest and most beautiful hotels in Sweden. In 1904 electricity was installed and a few years later each room was fitted with heating pipes and each floor with a toilet. That was regarded as pure luxury – finally the commodes could be removed once and for all.

In 1905 when the agreement to dissolve the union between Sweden and Norway was signed in Karlstad, the entire Norwegian delegation stayed at Stadshotellet. 

Many guests have returned year after year to Stadshotellet in Karlstad. One of them, the famous poet Gustaf Fröding, always sat at the same table in the dining room enjoying a glas of arrack punch while he gathered ideas to his poems.

Over the years, the hotel has undergone continuous renovation and updates. We have been careful to let quality rule every step of the way, as we would like to keep the hotel’s charming character for another hundred years. All areas in the hotel have been carefully designed to keep its character and yet remain functional.
