Hotel Västanå Castle

At Hotel Västanå Castle we welcome you to one of Sweden’s oldest manor hotels, where lake views, quiet luxury and centuries of history meet. Just 20 minutes from Jönköping, our 16th-century estate offers restful stays, seasonal food and space to breathe. Whether you’re here for a weekend escape or a good glass of wine, you’ll find time moves differently here.

Building: 1590

Just outside Gränna, surrounded by forests and rolling fields, you’ll find Västanå Castle —a 16th-century estate that’s been home to the von Otter family for nine generations. Since 1948, we’ve welcomed guests to stay, eat and unwind in one of Sweden’s first castle hotels.

Each room is individually decorated, with antiques, artwork and personal touches that reflect the manor’s long history. Outside, hiking trails wind through the forest, past red wooden houses and along the ridges above Lake Vättern. Inside, you’ll find quiet corners, restful interiors and a warm welcome.
Dinner is served in the manor’s elegant dining rooms, where seasonal menus are paired with carefully chosen wines. It’s food made to be savoured—much like everything else here.
Whether you’re walking in the woods, playing tennis, or simply enjoying the stillness, Västanå offers a chance to step away from the noise and into something altogether calmer. We’ve been here for centuries, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
