The Tree Hotel, located at Harrads Sweden, is a place inspired by the documentary film “Trädälskaren” (Treelover) by Jonas Selberg Augustsen and by the idea of creating a comfortable, well designed hotel which allows visitors to live in harmony with nature amongst the trees .

The concept “live in a tree house” has been handed over to a select group of established modern designers and architects. The result is a hotel with a unique collection of rooms, all different, where you can enjoy a comfortable, and truly memorable experience up in the trees.

Rooms available are the “Mirrorcube” by Tham & VidegÃ¥rd Architects, “The Cabin” by Cyrén & Cyrén, “The Nest” by Inredningsgruppen, “UFO” by Inredningsgruppen / Bertil Harström, “A room with a view” by Marge Architects and “Blue Cone” by Sandell Sandberg.
