Kosta Boda Art Hotel

Top choice in Småland


One of the only truly luxury hotel offerings in Småland, the Art Hotel showcases the famed glass and crystal brand's creations in unusual ways – like its designer glass bar. Each of the 102 decadent hotel rooms also features Kosta glasswork and textiles designed by local artists. Outdoors, you'll find the finest private swimming pool for miles.

Even if you don’t stay the night, drop in to scope out the lobby, and have a drink at the bar or a meal at the hotel's Linnéa Art Restaurant.
