Accomodation in Lund

1. Grand Hotel

Grand Hotel is located in the center of Lund, conveniently close to the train station, where the airport coach train from Copenhagen arrives.

(Price range: Single: $129-$207, Double $296-377, Suite $546. Rates include breakfast.)

[Frommer's Review says: This château-style hotel, the most prestigious in town, overlooks the fountains and flowers of a city park. The marble lobby is grand. Rooms in the hotel's conical corner tower are the most desirable. All the guest rooms are decorated in old-fashioned style. The bathrooms are moderate in size, with tub/showers.]

2. Hotel Concordia
Located just a block away from the train station and surrounded by picturesque houses and gardens Hotel Concordia is one of Lund’s most famous hotels with its very special atmosphere and history.

(Price range $170 - $234. Rates include breakfast.)

[Frommer's Review says: Next door to the brick house where August Strindberg lived in 1897, this charming, ornate building was constructed in 1882 as a private home. It served as a student hotel for some time and was then upgraded to serve a broader clientele. The modernized rooms are moderate in size and sedate, with good beds. The bathrooms are a bit small, but equipped with neatly kept showers. Housekeeping here is among the finest in town. The hotel is a 5-minute walk south of the railroad station.]

3. Scandic Star Lund Hotel
Modern hotel outside of Lund. Located along the highway that stretches between Lund and Dalby.

(Price range $114 - $507. Rates include breakfast.)

[Frommer's Review says: This hotel, a 20-minute walk from the town center, is the most comfortable in Lund. Built in 1991, it attracts lots of business conventions, as well as rock stars and movie actors known throughout Sweden. Each of the hotel's double rooms is configured as a minisuite, with a separate sitting area and traditional, conservative furnishings that would fit into a well-appointed upper-middle-class Swedish home. The public areas are more international and contemporary than the bedrooms and have lots of potted or hanging plants, wicker furniture, and well-maintained bathrooms with tub/showers.]
