Hotel Lydmar
Overlooking Salt Lake, the Lydmar has been remodelled by Swedish hotelier and serial entrepeneur Pelle Lydmar (Strandvägen 1, Eataly Stockholm and Archipelag Restaurant Fejan) and is owned by the Grand Hotel, whose Spa is just around the corner and available for our guests. The description boutique is perhaps over worked and a tad passé, but the architectural and design style here is best described as just that. The 47 rooms are all very different one from another with an eclectic mix of contemporary and classic fabrics, furnishings and Italian bed linen. Room amenities include flatscreen TV with international channels; minibar; free bottled water; Nespresso coffee machine with free capsules; bespoke bath products by Azzi. We like that the staff wear what they feel good in rather than a uniform, and take pride in knowing their city.
Tällbergsgården Hotel
Situated in the village of Tällberg by the side of Lake Siljan the Åkerblad family owned Tällbergsgårdens Hotell has a superb restaurant, idyllic surroundings and spa treatments. Each & every one of the 32 rooms is individually decorated and has a TV, Wi-Fi and private WC & shower/bathtub: some have a terrace, fireplace and spa bath. Gourmet meals with views of Lake Siljan can be enjoyed at our in-house dinner restaurant which is open for lunch in the summer months. Coffee and drinks are served at the pub. Guests can borrow bicycles, badminton equipment and other sports facilities for free.

The hotel hosts the village's 'Mid Sommar' celebrations in its courtyard. The centrepiece of the day's events is the raising of the Maypole or Midsommarstång around mid- day and after a lunch of crayfish and pickled herring.The day then evolves informally with music, singing, dancing and various traditional games. Celebratory 4 course dinner in the hotel's restaurant.
4th Day Lake Silja
After breakfast plan your day around the weather. Lake Silja is the centrepiece of Dalarna often referred to as Sweden in miniature because of its red painted wooden houses, forests and lakes.
