Looking for a truly unique place to stay in Sweden?

Forget standard cabins or big hotels. Sweden is full of one-of-a-kind stays you won’t easily find through a quick search. Think high-end treehouses, glass cabins with stunning views, or luxury lodges tucked away in nature.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through some of the most special types of accommodation, so you can start your trip full of inspiration.

Sleeping in a treehouse (but different)

Forget the treehouses you know. In Sweden, they’ve figured out how to take the idea to the next level. These treehouses are designed by architects; think sleek lines, panoramic views over forests and lakes, and a kind of silence you’ll never get in a hotel room.

They’re suspended high above the ground but come with all the comforts you’d expect: heating, stylish interiors, and everything you need. Some are minimalist and modern, others more traditionally Swedish. Something for everyone.

Glass cabins: sleep under the stars

Tempted to go camping but still want something a little more special? For those wanting to get the most out of Sweden’s nature, there are cabins with glass roofs and walls hidden all over the country. In summer, you can watch the sun slowly set behind the lake. In autumn or spring? You might even catch the northern lights.

These cabins are often in places you’d never stumble upon yourself. Deep in the forest. High on a cliff. Completely alone next to a giant lake. But all of them: private, stylish, and designed to amaze you.

Luxury off-grid

Swedish off-grid isn’t about roughing it. It’s about going back to how things used to be, in a good way. Cooking over an open fire, outdoor showers, waking up to nothing but a breeze of wind and birds.

Some off-grid spots don’t have electricity, but do come with a wood-fired sauna. And honestly? A day without internet isn’t that much of a punishment anymore.

No worries: off-grid in Sweden doesn’t mean survival. It means slowing down, and living simply, but comfortably.

Stylish city stays

Even in cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg, you’ll find places that go way beyond the typical ‘design hotel’. Think suites in old townhouses, Scandinavian minimalism with warm touches, high ceilings and bathrooms that will amaze you.

These places combine luxury with personality. The rooms feel spacious, but the place feels intimate. Picture soft robes, fresh-baked bread, homemade jam, and walking straight out into the city.

Perfect as a start or end to your trip, or a stylish stopover between your more rugged nature stays.

Industrial stays: old factories, granary silo's and more

Sweden is full of old industrial buildings, and some of them have been transformed into seriously cool hotels. You might sleep in a grain silo, a former stone factory or even an old water tower.

It’s raw and quiet, but every detail has been carefully thought through. Great for anyone who loves nature and character, without compromising on comfort or style.

Why you won’t find these places on Booking.com

You can spend hours Googling or scrolling through Instagram, but the Swedes are modest. Behind the most stunning locations, there’s often just a small local team quietly doing things their own way.

That’s what makes them special: small-scale, local, personal. But it also means they’re harder to find or book on your own.

That’s where we come in. We know these places, we work directly with the owners, and we make sure you get a hassle-free vacation.
