Overview
This design hotel is a former fortress and lies by the Baltic Coast, just outside the town of Fårösund and 2 km from the ferry terminal to Fårö island.

All rooms have carefully selected furniture and products. Other facilities at Fårösund Fortress include a sauna, a hot tub and an indoor swimming pool. The restaurant will be closed from 29th of May to 18th of June.

“Chilled, relaxed comfort in a place to self-reflect.”
The creativity of redeveloping an old "Cold War/2nd World War" network of Bunkers into a Boutique Hotel was awe-inspiring. Anders looked after us v.well with lovely accomodation/shower, toiletries, breakfasts and many nooks and crannies to chill and relax. Okay, so the residence isnt near any shops, but that's not why you would stay there. You'd stay because of the comfort and solitude. It's also only 10 mins drive from the Ferry to Fårö, which is in itself an amazing self-contained community.

“A lovely escape in Farosund”
Amazing 'modern' building with a history dating back to the Crimean War - fascinating. We had fun playing petanque and pool, and enjoyed walking in the nature reserve next door. Small spa area with a small pool and nice sauna. Nice breakfast, including making your own waffles! Lovely places to swim nearby, including the coast near Ar and the Blue Lagoon.

A unique experience to stay in an old fortress. A boutique hotel with on site restaurant, boule court, pool table and swimming pool + sauna. Rooms were air conditioned. Staff was super friendly. A great stay and can really recommend to others.

“This was a spontaneous trip and we just had a wonderful experience.”
It was small and by the water. It is also in an historical building. The staff was exceptionally welcoming.

“Beautifully designed hotel in a special location”
Beautifully designed hotel in a quaint peaceful location. Great place to stay to explore Northern Gotland and Fårö. Lovely communal spaces. The pool is on the small side but it was nice to have a little splash in (particularly when it was raining) and the sauna is right next to it. The rooms don’t have windows that open but an air con ensured the right temperature. Comfy beds. Lovely breakfast and dinner. Staff and management were very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend for a two-three day stay.

Perfect base for two nights on our bike trip enabling us to explore Fårö. Sauna and pool were excellent, and the atmosphere was cosy and relaxed. Food was excellent. Anders and Teza were great hosts and made us feel welcomed.
