Grand Hotel, Helsingborg

Grand Hotel, Helsingborg, Hotel in central Helsingborg, Sweden

The Grand Hotel occupies the western side of Stortorget, dominating the square's south facade. It rises four storeys plus a mansard roof, built in dark brown Helsingborg brick with sandstone details framing the base, corner chains and a broad band along the eaves. Round-arched windows with ornamental sandstone keystones light the ground floor, and cut-metal letters reading "Grand Hotel" stand above the first floor. The roof is clad in red tile, flanked by two tall volute gables edged in verdigris copper.

The site held a coaching inn from 1753–58, later expanded by Anders Munthe and known as Hôtel de Munthe until 1917, when it was demolished. Skånska Handelsbanken commissioned Ernst Stenhammar to design a bank, but after the bank was bought in 1919 the plans stalled. August Stoltz adapted the drawings for hotel use, and the Grand Hotel opened on 8 March 1926.

The building's name comes from the old Hôtel de Munthe, which stood on this site until 1917. Its large function room, Stenbockssalen, was long a popular venue for major gatherings but now serves as a conference room. A 2005 ground-floor rebuild opened the space between the clothing shop, reception, restaurant and café into a single hotel arcade.

The hotel stands on the western side of Stortorget, facing the square's south front, with the entrance marked by a glass canopy added later. The ground floor was rebuilt in 2005 as an open galleria, so guests can walk between the reception, restaurant, café and shops without going outside.

The building was first planned as a bank palace for Skånska Handelsbanken, designed by Ernst Stenhammar, who had previously drawn the Grand Hôtel Royal in Stockholm. When the bank was bought in 1919, the project stalled and the function changed to a hotel, with Malmö city architect August Stoltz modifying the drawings, mainly the interiors. The hotel opened on 8 March 1926.
