Hotels Own Introduction
Welcome to PM & Vänner
A hotel and restaurant group rooted in the heart of Småland, PM & Vänner is guided by a philosophy inspired by the region’s defining elements: forest, lake, and meadow. Our mission is to showcase the natural richness and variety of Småland in everything we do.
A Stay Like No Other
With 74 distinctive rooms spread across five thoughtfully curated categories, PM & Vänner Hotel offers more than just a place to rest—it’s a living showroom of Småland’s textures, tones, and traditions. Each room tells a different story, blending regional character with modern comfort.
A Culinary Identity Reimagined
Our gastronomic vision takes its cues from the roots of Småland cuisine, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Local ingredients are honored, elevated, and transformed into dishes that celebrate both tradition and innovation. Expect refined flavors, world-class service, and delightful surprises along the way.
Beyond the Expected
Whether it’s discovering contemporary art in the garage, savoring a full hedonist tasting menu, or wandering through the city’s only rooftop greenhouse before a swim with panoramic views—your stay will be filled with memorable moments, designed to impress even the most seasoned traveler.

Wallpaper*, January 2017Haymarket travels back in time to the Twenties with gilded surfaces, Art Deco flair, peacock feathers, staff in white jackets or bow ties, background jazz music, and a festive atmosphere. Despite 405 rooms, its soul is very much boutique hotel.
