History

The current-standing hotel was initially intended to exclusively serve the guests of arms manufacturer Bofors.[1][2] The hotel was designed by Wilhelm von Eick.[3][4] It was constructed in the 1920s, and completed in 1930, and renovated in the 1970s, and in 2007.[3]

The current King visited the hotel in 1973, and in 1983 accompanied by the Queen of Sweden.[3]
