We loved the mix of old and new. Even though the hotel has a classical vibe, it is equipped with all of the mod cons one could hope for, including a gym, spa, air-conditioning in all rooms and six spacious conference rooms. However, upon entering the hotel, a huge antique clock greets you and you discover that the hotel even has its own water tower (which, of course, isn’t functioning today!). Some conference rooms have unique paintings of Malmo old town on the walls. They are under a preservation order and weren't allowed to be changed even during the renovation of the hotel.

Make sure to take a time-out in the popular Bishop’s Arms gastropub, located next door to the hotel. Offering a wide selection of food and drinks, the Bishop’s Arms is known to have one of the country’s largest ranges of beers and whiskeys. The highly trained, knowledgeable staff at the Bishop's Arms will be only too pleased to guide you through the wide and exciting assortment and can even arrange beer and whiskey tastings. The library here is truly amazing and you can find all kind of books in any language. You can even borrow one - but you have to leave one of your own in return!

Being right in the centre of Malmö, you certainly won’t get bored! Sweden’s third-largest city has a progressive, contemporary feel and is home to Scandinavia's tallest building, beautiful parks, edgy modern museums and some superb cuisine. The Öresund Bridge connects the city to Copenhagen, creating a dynamic urban feel.

Malmö is also Sweden’s most multicultural metropolis - browse Middle Eastern street stalls, Italian coffee culture and hipster skateboard parks, which all co-exist happily side-by-side.

Gamla Staden (Old Town) is Malmö’s heart, while the castle, Malmöhus Slott, stands proud in a leafy setting. Across the canal is the redeveloped harbour precinct, home to some excellent cafes and restaurants.
