Our History
The history of Waxholm Hotel began in 1856 when the city hotel Falks Salonger was built in Söderhamn in Vaxholm. After a fire in 1899, the hotel was rebuilt according to drawings by architect Erik Lallerstedt, and traces of the Art Nouveau style of that time can still be seen today in the stairs and foyer.
October 1902
The new Waxholms Hotell opened in October 1902 under the direction of Augusta Karlsson — a plate of butter, cheese and herring with brandy cost 55 öre. Augusta's bar, adjacent to the Dining Room, is still there and can be visited today.
Åke Söderquist & Nicky Forbes
In 1981, restaurateurs Åke Söderquist and Nicky Forbes took over the operation and attracted large crowds through skilful marketing. The following year, the television programme “Waxholms 1:an” with Bengt Bedrup was broadcast directly from the hotel and Badholmen, bringing valuable publicity and even more guests.
A Brighter Future
On 1 December 2024, Jesper Ahlbom and Stefan Strömberg bought the business. Since then, the hotel has undergone a transformation and opened on February 14, 2025.
