Spa and gym
Treatment rooms host clean-beauty rituals by Stockholm brand Mia Hjalmarsson next to a mirrored gym.
Restaurant
Gastro Bar
Checkerboard floors line the ground-floor dining room, which serves Italian-inspired fresh pastas and cocktails looking onto the park.

How it began
The Malmström-Cappelen family named the townhouse after the flower-filled summer gardens of their grandparents' seaside home in Båstad.
