Arctic Bath has been awarded a Michelin Key, a prestigious accolade recognising hotels and destinations that offer an exceptional holistic experience. The Michelin Key, launched in 2024, is the hospitality world’s equivalent to the Michelin Guide stars and is granted to places that excel in design, service, gastronomy and the unique character of their location.
Receiving a Michelin Key signifies that a property has achieved a remarkable level of quality and unity, where every element – from the rooms, interior and service to the cuisine and environment- works together to create a memorable stay. Inspectors visit carefully selected hotels, often unannounced, and assess them according to criteria such as comfort, personalised service, experiential value, architecture and atmosphere. For Arctic Bath, this is particularly special, as we are the only destination outside Stockholm to receive a key in this year’s evaluation.
“We are truly honored to be the first hotel in the North of Sweden to receive the prestigious Michelin Key. It is a testament to the consistent hard work and dedication of our team and all our local suppliers. We are proud to be a sustainable destination with a strong character, story and soul. Our close collaboration within the Norrbotten region is vital for our success. Together we will continue to aim for excellence in providing memorable and unique guest experiences. says Klara Ranggård, CEO and Hotel manager, Arctic Bath.
For Arctic Bath, the Michelin Key is not only a recognition of the work accomplished so far but also a reminder of the responsibility that comes with it. The accolade encompasses the entire hotel experience and reaffirms our commitment to consistently deliver a high-quality and coherent experience, where every guest departs feeling that they have encountered something truly unique.
We will cherish and honour this distinction, continuing to develop the property and experiences in line with our values of closeness to nature, culture and design.
