Salt & Sill Floating Hotel - Tjörn
Lysekil HavsHotell - Lysekil (Strandflickorna - The Beach Girls)
This charming hotel from the turn of the century is located on the sea front in Lysekil. King Oscar II was once a regular visitor and had his own suite! 15 individually decorated rooms are in the main building and 2 outstanding suites are located on the rocks by the sea. The hotel is located at the mouth of one of Sweden's deepest fjörds, Gullmarsfjörden, with a depth of around 120meters and is just 110km (65miles) from Gothenburg. When staying here we recommend you ask for either the Havsatelijen or the Badpaviljong, located on the rocks by the sea. Access to these suites is by a steep rocky staircase, just 50m from the main building. [map]
The Weather Islands
Sweden's most westerly islands are rugged, raw and incredibly beautiful. Unprotected from natures elements this collection of islands lie some 10 nautical miles from the mainland. During the 18th and 19th centuries the need for greater safety at sea meant these inhospitable islands became home to an extended lighthouse and pilot service. In 1965 the lighthouse was fully automated and the pilots returned to the main land. Today there is an excellent restaurant complemented by a comfortable guest house. There are no TVs in the bedrooms (just look out of the window!) and the showers & toilets are in the corridor. All rooms have a sea view. The only way to reach the islands is by a special boat service. Purchased in Northern Ireland the boats were brought back to Sweden across the North Sea. A sure sign that no matter what the weather you will always be able to reach the barren, rugged, dramatic Weather Islands. You will depart for the Weather Islands at 1pm. The journey takes approx. 20mins. You will be welcomed with a sandwich and warm drink and you will have time to to explore this stunning location. A walk to the old pilots station is recommended. An excellent 3 course evening meal (based around sea food) is served in the renowned restaurant. If you would prefer to spend just a few hours on the Weather Islands then we recommend Storahotellet in Fjällbacka. [map]

4 star hotel located by the harbour in Fjällbacka on Swedens beautiful West Coast. Ideal for those looking to spend just a few hours on the Weather Islands. Storahotellet was re-built in 1997 and is a tribute to local globetrotter and seafarer Captain Klassen. Each of the 23 rooms tells a story from his favourite distant ports to explorers and friends he met on his journeys across the globe. Fjällbacka is an idyllic retreat at the bottom of imposing granite cliffs. Archipelago tours, fishing and the weather attract visitors from across Sweden and beyond. Fjällbacka was home to the summer retreat of Ingrid Bergman and you will find a statute of the famous actress on the quay side. It is also home to Camilla Läckberg, one of the growing collection of Swedish crime writers.[map]
