Pater Noster nominated in the Culinary Hotel Awards – one of Sweden’s most unique hotel experiences
The award-winning hotel Pater Noster – A Home at the Horizon has been nominated in the category "The Special Ones 2025" at the Culinary Hotel Awards. This category celebrates unique and innovative hotel experiences where food takes center stage, contributing to Sweden’s international recognition.
The award is presented by the magazine Restaurangvärlden, which aims to highlight hotels where food and beverages play a crucial role in the overall experience. The Culinary Hotel Awards feature several categories, recognizing hotels that offer exceptional gastronomy and world-class guest experiences. Among the other nominees in the same category are Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, Salt & Sill on Klädesholmen, and Treehotel in Harads. The winners will be announced at an exclusive awards ceremony at Berns in Stockholm on March 10, 2025.
“Pater Noster is a place with unique conditions. Out on the island, it feels as if time stands still, allowing guests to be fully present in the moment, surrounded by nature. We cherish this place while offering our guests the finest local ingredients—seaweed, seafood, and carefully selected beverages. Our goal has always been to provide an unforgettable stay where nature, history, and design come together in an extraordinary setting,” says Mirja Lilja Hagsjö, CEO and co-founder of Pater Noster.
Pater Noster opened its doors in 2020, following the careful restoration and transformation of the historic lighthouse island of Hamneskär, just off the coast of Marstrand, into the unique destination it is today. Since then, Pater Noster has received several prestigious awards, including Prix Versailles, Gold Key Awards, National Geographic’s Best New Hotels, Grand Travel Awards, Ahead Award, World's Best Hotel Concept 2021, the Grand Tourism Prize 2022, and Hotel Destination of the Year Sweden 2024.
