Ramlösa brunnshotell, Historical spa hotel in Helsingborg, Sweden

Ramlösa brunnshotell is a two-storey wooden building on a brick base in Ramlösa brunnspark, Helsingborg. Its yellow-panelled facade has white-painted trim and shutters, and a central portico with slender white columns supports an upper loggia of white arches. The hipped roof is covered in black asphalt felt, and glazed pavilions flank the east and west sides.

Achates von Platen built the first Stora Hotellet in 1807 as a two-storey half-timbered house with 20 rooms. It burned down on 17 June 1879, and architect Johan Erik Stenberg designed the present building, completed in 1880. During the Second World War it served as a reception centre for Jewish refugees; more than 13,000 passed through Helsingborg between 1943 and 1945.

The building displays Moorish decorative details in its porch area, blending Nordic architecture with Oriental influences. This stylistic combination reflects the cosmopolitan ideas that shaped European health resorts during the 1800s.

The hotel is accessible by public transport via route 2, which stops at Helsingborg Brunnsparksskol. Opening hours run from 8 AM to 4:30 PM.

The building was saved from demolition in the early 1970s, when plans called for replacing it with a service building containing a galleria, library and conference rooms. Protests led by Hans Alfredson helped stop the scheme, and on 24 October 1973 the hotel was declared a listed building.
