Elite Plaza Örnsköldsvik

Very nice friendly staff

Stayed one night after driving south. Beautifully located at the harbor in Örnsköldsvik. Clean and large room. The gym looked nice (top floor) and empty (at 9 am), but had no time to use it. Comfortable bed. Breakfast was okay, unfortunately tried the chia seed pudding which tasted foul. Make dinner reservations if you are planning on trying one of the many restaurants by the harbor. We had to travel closer to the town to find a restaurant (it was delicious though! Malins bistro). Friendly staff at the hotel! We booked parking right outside the hotel, very convenient.

Elite Plaza Hotel is a stylish, modern, and thoughtfully designed hotel beautifully located by the waterfront in central Örnsköldsvik. Here are my impressions after staying there: ⸻ Location: The hotel enjoys a fantastic location right on the harbor—just steps from the water. The sea-facing rooms offer a calming view that adds a vacation-like feel. However, some rooms face a busy road and can be affected by noise. For a restful night’s sleep, it’s highly recommended to book a room with a sea view. ⸻ Interior & Atmosphere: Design is one of the hotel’s strongest assets. The interior features warm wood paneling, Scandinavian-style furnishings, and carefully curated lighting. The lounge and dining areas are tastefully decorated with natural materials, books, ceramics, and artistic touches. A particularly impressive feature is the tall stairwell adorned with hanging globe lights, creating a dramatic and artistic visual impression. Overall, the atmosphere is both elegant and inviting. ⸻ Rooms & Bathrooms: The rooms are modern, comfortable, and stylishly minimalistic. Bathrooms are fully tiled in dark marble, equipped with rain showers and good lighting—both functional and visually appealing. ⸻ Breakfast: The breakfast is of high quality, offering a wide selection including cold cuts, smoked salmon, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, bacon, and various breads and toppings. The buffet is well presented and includes both hot and cold options. The breakfast area is bright and pleasant with plenty of natural light. ⸻ Restaurant: The hotel’s in-house restaurant is The Bishops Arms, a well-known British-style gastropub. It offers a cozy atmosphere and a good selection of food, beer, and whiskies. A convenient and relaxed dining option just downstairs. ⸻ Service: The reception staff was professional and helpful. The breakfast team was also friendly and attentive. ⸻ Summary: This is a beautiful hotel with a strong focus on design and comfort. The breakfast is excellent, the ambiance is relaxing, and the location by the harbor is hard to beat. The only downside is the potential road noise in some rooms—book a sea view room for the best experience.
