About us

Welcome to our hotel.

We are Gisela and Martin Karlsson, and we have owned and run Grenna Hotell since November 2013. For us, it was a dream come true: a wonderful hotel in a grand building, with a beautiful garden and an ideal location close to the water. Situated in the heart of Gränna, the hotel was previously known as Ribbagården. After several years with little activity, we renamed it Grenna Hotell to give the business a fresh start and a new identity.

Ribbagården dates back to the mid-15th century, but it was not until the von Düben family took over the property in 1893 that it became widely known.

Von Düben converted the property into Grand Hotell Ribbagården and created a much-admired garden alongside it. The hotel and restaurant flourished during his time. In summer, celebrated artists were among the guests, arriving at the hotel's own steamboat jetty. One of the hotel's returning guests was Greta Garbo, whose name lives on in our Greta Garbo Suite.

Today, Grenna Hotell has been given a new lease of life. The atmosphere of times past lives on within its walls, creating a setting full of character. Here you can truly unwind and enjoy first-class food and drink. Explore our offers for both business and leisure guests.
Grenna Hotell is a wonderful destination to enjoy all year round.

We look forward to welcoming you!
