Nordic Boutique Hotels

Nordic Boutique Hotels is a love letter to singular stays across the Nordics, to heritage and contemporary design, to history, and to that rare feeling of waking up somewhere unfamiliar that nevertheless feels entirely right. Each hotel featured in this book has been chosen with care: characterful places where interiors, atmosphere and experience exist in quiet harmony.

Nordic Boutique Hotels is a love letter to singular stays across the Nordics, to heritage and contemporary design, to history, and to that rare feeling of waking up somewhere unfamiliar that nevertheless feels entirely right. Each hotel featured in this book has been chosen with care: characterful places where interiors, atmosphere and experience exist in quiet harmony. Some may be larger than one might traditionally associate with the word boutique, yet each shares the same sense of intimacy and authenticity that earns it a place here. From dramatic coastlines and deep forests to restaurants where ingredients and craftsmanship take precedence, these are hotels that leave a lasting impression. A certain stillness. A considered warmth. Above all, the desire to return, if only in memory. NICOLE KAVANMER is ELLE’s resident travel blogger and a contributor to ELLE Decoration. Raised in Stockholm and having lived in London, Tokyo and Paris, she brings an international perspective to Nordic design and hospitality. Through her writing and on Instagram @nicolekavander, she shares carefully considered stays and personal recommendations from across the Nordics and beyond.
