Ekebacken Hotell & Konferens sits on the outskirts of Markaryd. Visit Sweden's national listing describes 50 rooms across two buildings and a restaurant on site. The hotel's own website says it is not a hotel in the classic sense: its rooms are spread among four separate building blocks, and all have recently been renovated. The two descriptions give different counts for the buildings.

Visit Sweden says the hotel was originally built by Sweden's forestry industry, which invested in high-quality design. The listing says that design is still visible in the décor and furnishings. It also describes nearby access to hiking trails, cycling paths and lakes. Visitors can stay at the hotel, eat at its restaurant and use the nearby routes for walks or bike rides.
