Hotel prices rise 6 percent in Sweden in April as occupancy climbs

Hotel room prices in Sweden rose by 6 percent in April compared with the same period in 2025. This was at the same time as the number of occupied hotel rooms increased by just over 7 percent, according to new statistics from the Benchmarking Alliance.

"The outcome is mainly characterized by increased demand, higher occupancy rates and increased willingness to pay. One explanation is that the increase mainly occurred on weekdays when business travelers dominate and prices are higher," says Thomas Jakobsson, chief economist at Visita, in a press release.

At the same time, the booking situation ahead of the summer indicates demand will remain high. The figures show bookings are 7 percent higher than at the same time last year.
