Kosta Boda Art Hotel is a vibrant design hotel, decorated by Kosta Boda’s designers and a tribute to Swedish glass art. Here, glass is a recurring theme throughout the decor—with each room uniquely designed—all the way to the hotel’s spa, where you can take a dip in an ornate pool and admire works of art in an exhibition—underwater! Be sure to try the spa’s award-winning signature treatment, which features a luxurious massage with heated glass.
The Kosta Boda Art Hotel opened its doors in 2009. Its journey actually began in 1742, when Kosta was founded by two of Charles XII’s generals, Koskull and Staël von Holstein. The hotel is a living showroom for glass, where everything you see is for sale. Many guests come here for the glass, the art, and the history, but also for the award-winning spa. All the glass at the hotel is produced across the street, in the glassworks, by skilled glassblowers using a craft that has remained unchanged for nearly 300 years.
The hotel is located in the heart of Glasriket, Småland, right next to the Kosta Glassworks and Kosta Outlet. Here, experiences blend with relaxation and shopping, all in a setting that exudes glass art and design. Within easy reach, you’ll find several glassworks as well as larger cities such as Växjö and Kalmar, and the island of Öland.
