Welcome to Best Western Plus John Bauer Hotel and the world of John Bauer! This modern hotel offers stylish accommodations, a popular restaurant, and excellent conference facilities in the heart of Jonkoping. Its central location provides easy access to the city’s attractions and convenient connections to Stockholm, Malmo, and Gothenburg.
John Bauer-inspired rooms.
The hotel’s rooms are tastefully decorated in a contemporary style, featuring neutral tones accented by colors and patterns inspired by the artwork of John Bauer, the renowned Swedish illustrator best known for his fairy-tale depictions of trolls and enchanted forests. Many rooms also showcase reproductions of Bauer’s artwork.
For a more luxurious stay, guests can choose the elegant suite with calming views of Lake Munksjon and a private sauna.
Restaurant, bar, and meetings.
Connected to the hotel, Ester Kok & Bar serves both lunch and a la carte dinner. The restaurant continues the hotel’s theme, taking its name from Ester Ellqvist, John Bauer’s wife and a talented artist in her own right.
The hotel lounge also features a welcoming bar serving bistro-style dishes, live music evenings, and after-work gatherings.
With its location in one of Sweden’s key transportation hubs, the hotel is particularly well suited for conferences and events. Six flexible meeting rooms accommodate everything from business gatherings to weddings and larger celebrations.
Experience Jonkoping. Jonkoping offers a wide range of shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. The city center is home to more than 200 stores. A short walk from the hotel is the historic Matchstick District, where visitors can learn about Sweden’s match industry while enjoying shops, restaurants, and more.
If you arrive by car, we have a convenient secure car park for a small cost (we recommend to pre-book). Jonkoping is located between Sweden’s bigger cities Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo and that makes us a great city to host your conference.
