A design-led hotel on the edge of Piteå, on the stretch of coast Swedes call the Riviera of the North. Hotel Kust holds 43 rooms and four suites across fourteen floors, shaped by the river it sits beside and the light that defines this part of Sweden.
The polished, urban counterpoint to a Lapland lodge stay. Where the lodges further north put guests directly on the ice, Kust offers a sky bar, a serious spa, and a base from which to step in and out of the Arctic. It is the tallest building in northern Sweden, and on a clear winter night, the Aurora Borealis can be watched from the bar on the fourteenth floor.
In summer, the Midnight Sun keeps the coastline lit for almost the whole day. In winter, Piteå sits under one of the best skies in Europe for the Northern Lights, and the surrounding archipelago freezes hard enough to walk on.
