Lodging (Destination) in Sweden

September 2026

Lodging (destination) in Sweden continues to record solid growth, supported by resilient domestic travel, improving consumer confidence and sustained interest in nature-based and regional travel experiences. While hotels remain the dominant accommodation type, short-term rentals continue to perform strongly as travellers increasingly seek flexibility, authenticity and stays that form part of the overall travel experience. Demand is becoming increasingly polarised, with value-focused travellers seeking practical and affordable accommodation, while premium guests place greater emphasis on design, atmosphere and experience-led stays. This encourages operators to sharpen positioning, refine accommodation concepts and differentiate through guest experience rather than location alone. At the same time, investment increasingly focuses on improving existing assets rather than expanding capacity. Renovation, reuse and sustainability initiatives are helping operators enhance competitiveness while responding to evolving guest expectations. Looking ahead, growth is expected to be supported by selective travellers seeking clear value, stronger destination partnerships and greater use of pricing and revenue-management tools to protect profitability.

Lodging (Destination)

Lodging (Destination) covers the main types of lodging used by inbound and domestic tourists, providing a destination point of view (also known as point of supply). Lodging value is measured in terms of the price paid for lodging by the consumer and businesses based on total room sales. It does not include food and drinks or any other form of revenue that is not directly related to lodging, such as events and conferences and guest services, such as gym, spa, shop, room service, restaurant and café. Lodging volume is measured in terms of number of outlets and rooms at year end, and room nights as total of the full year.
