Hotel Borgen, Historic building in central Örebro, Sweden

Hotel Borgen occupies a red-brick building from 1891 on Norra Strandgatan beside the Svartån in central Örebro. Its facade, designed by Fritz Ulrich and Eduard Hallquisth, is broken by round towers that give it the look of a castle, hence the name. The building originally housed Örebro Sparbank and now contains 125 hotel rooms, a meeting room and a restaurant.

The building was erected in 1891 for Örebro Sparbank and opened on 1 September 1892, also housing apartments and a telegraph office. Hjalmar Bergman, son of bank director Claes Bergman, spent his childhood in one of the flats. From 1934 to 2013 it was the headquarters of the newspaper Nerikes Allehanda, known as Allehandaborgen. Nordic Choice Hotels took over in 2014 and opened a 125-room hotel in April 2016.

The building's castle-like red-brick facade with round towers gave it the name Borgen, Swedish for "the castle". From 1934 to 2013 it housed the editorial offices of the local newspaper Nerikes Allehanda, and locals still call it Allehandaborgen or NA-borgen. The author Hjalmar Bergman spent part of his childhood in an apartment here, where his father Claes Bergman was bank director.

The hotel is centrally located and easily accessible on foot or by public transportation. Its proximity to shops, restaurants, and other city attractions makes it a convenient base for exploring the area.

The building opened on 1 September 1892 and, besides bank rooms, housed apartments and a telegraph office. The writer Hjalmar Bergman spent part of his childhood in one of these flats, since his father Claes Bergman was the bank's director.
