What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A centrally located hotel, close to the bus station. Classically furnished, well-equipped bedrooms offer good value for money; ask for a room on one of the upper floors.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
On Per Weijersgatan in central Malmo, a short walk from the local bus station.
The rooms
Bedrooms take a straightforward, classic approach, outfitted with Dux beds and the best placements on the upper floors.
The sauna
The wooden sauna is built with a backlit salt wall, opening directly to a slatted timber relaxation space.
The gym and lounge
Free weights and cardio machines fill the gym room, which connects to a curved green banquette for resting.
Restaurant
Noble House Taverna
Tavern-style pizzas and seasonal dishes headline the menu, served along yellow metro tiles and a curved bar counter.
At the table

How it began
The founders named the hotel after James Clavell’s bestselling novel, initially seeking to mirror the glamour of 1960s Hong Kong.
