Mölnlycke, Västra Götaland, Sweden
A 1906 manor house on Lake Landvetter, home to Restaurant Signum's two Michelin Stars and Green Star. The culinary destination of West Sweden, fifteen minutes from Gothenburg.
Hällsnäs sits on a pine-forested peninsula that reaches into Lake Landvetter. The manor house dates to 1906, built as a Gothenburg dentist's summer retreat on land documented since the 1640s. Water surrounds three sides. The floating sauna drifts at the shore. Two outdoor hot tubs steam at 38 degrees year-round. Fifteen minutes from Gothenburg and Landvetter Airport, it feels far deeper into the countryside.
Gastronomy drives everything here. Restaurant Signum, the estate's fine dining room, holds two Michelin Stars and a Green Star under chef Thomas Sjögren. Seasons and the surrounding landscape shape every menu. Restaurant Sjoo handles relaxed daily dining with the same kitchen philosophy. Over a century of West Swedish hospitality runs through the place, from tasting menus to lakeside mornings.
Kayaks and SUP boards launch from the peninsula's shore into Lake Landvetter. Forest trails for running and walking start at the hotel grounds and wind through surrounding pine. An outdoor gym sits near the water. An indoor gym covers rainy days.
The kitchen anchors many of the best on-site activities. Cook with a Chef puts guests alongside Hällsnäs's team. Battle of the Chefs turns groups into competing kitchen brigades. Whisky, gin, champagne, and wine tastings pair with multi-course dinners. Additional adventure programming runs through local partner Aventi.

The spa peninsula stretches into Lake Landvetter. A wood-fired floating sauna sits at the water's edge, smoke curling over the surface. An infrared sauna fills the relaxation house on shore.
