At KUST Hotel & Spa, you can leave the world behind for a while. This gem in the north of Sweden offers something quite special – a premium experience that also reflects Piteå River’s journey from the mountains to the coast.
Described as a design hotel, the award-winning KUST Hotel & Spa is quite extraordinary. Opened ten years ago, it features 97 rooms, four seasonal suites, a conference floor with full service, a renowned restaurant, a spa terrace – and northern Sweden’s highest located sky bar.

With its well-established concept, the hotel takes guests on a journey along the mighty Piteå River, from the mountains to the sea. It is a story in 14 chapters, one for each floor, and everything is inspired by the nature, culture and flavours of the river valley. The spa is an entire floor of relaxation, baths and treatments with nature’s own products. Meanwhile, at Restaurant Tage, guests can expect well-prepared food made with ingredients from the region – inspired by the local food tradition and craftsmanship.

“Here you leave everyday life behind, check into your room and start the weekend with dinner at Restaurant Tage followed by a drink in our sky bar. After a good night’s sleep, we serve a tasty breakfast buffet and then our relaxing spa ritual awaits you on the spa floor,” says Sabina Jonsson, hotel manager. “We have all the ingredients for a perfect summer weekend.”

For the hotel’s 10th anniversary, the celebration continues throughout the year with activities, special offers and an anniversary menu at Restaurant Tage, located at the top of the building with stunning views. “Our anniversary is important for locals too, as people here have a special connection to KUST Hotel,” smiles Jonsson.


Since the opening, both KUST Hotel and Restaurant Tage have won numerous awards, including Swedish Design Award, Grand Travel Awards and World Luxury Hotel Awards. “It’s an honour to be recognised and we feel a great sense of gratitude,” says the hotel manager. “It’s acknowledgement of the heart and care that we put into every detail in the hotel.”

Piteå is a bustling summer destination – often called the riviera of the Nordics – with the long sandy beaches at Pite havsbad and the beautiful archipelago. And there is plenty of fun coming up this summer. For instance, teams from all over the world will visit the city to play football under the midnight sun at Piteå Summer Games, 26-28 June. And of course, the big festival Piteå Dansar och Ler is set to attract a huge audience again this year, 22-26 July.
