Elite Stadshotellet Växjö is a classic hotel with contemporary comfort.

The hotel has an exciting history that begins after the great fire in Växjö of 1840 when eighty farms in the city burned down and half of the population became homeless. Rebuilding plans for the city included a new town square and the residence of the county governor on the north side and the prison on the south side were demolished. The townspeople then built a beautiful town hall and an inn, designed by the architect, Theodor Ankarsvärd.

In 1852 the building was completed. In 1870 another building was built on Kungsgatan, which together with the older inn, formed the Växjö Stadshotel of today. At the turn of the century the town hall was also included in the hotel and in 1906 an extension was added. During the war it was rebuilt again and this is the hotel we see today.

Many are the banquets and many are the celebrated guests that have stayed here through the years. In the late 1800s there was even a column in the newspaper mentioning the most famous guests. A recurring highlight of the year was the Oskars-ball, celebrating the King's name day on the first of December. On December 22, 1921, the famous singer, Kristina Nilsson, died in the hotel after she had moved there on the suggestion of her personal physician. However, most of the guests did return in good health to the hotel they considered their second home.

The hotel is situated in the center of town, only 50 meters from the railway station. The airport-bus stops just outside the door. Whether you arrive by car, rail or air, it is easy to get to the hotel. Car parking is available in the nearby square.
