Elie Stora Hotellet is a great plase to stay in Jönköping. Close by the canal and the lake the lpcal area is just beautiful with lots of restaurants, coffee shops and bars. The hotel's own Bishops Arms pub and restaurant is known for good food and a well stocked bar. By the lake there is a pier with several restaurants and live music at night. There are lots of old castles amd museums showcasing the rise of local industry like the match factory. If you play golf, like us, there are several golf courses quite near. Sand Golf Club is our favorite, a very special links type course. Rooms and service in the hotel is excellent. We've been there before, and we will be back.
