Elite Stora Hotellet, Örebro
On Stortorget, with dinner sorted every night
About this hotel
Elite Stora Hotellet sits directly on Stortorget, two minutes from Nikolai church, which makes it one of the most central bases for a Gustavsvik trip that also wants a proper old-town stay with genuine city character to it. Free breakfast covers the mornings before heading out to the water park, and having an English pub, a chic restaurant and a trendy Italian eatery all under the same roof means dinner never requires another decision after a long slides day. It suits a multi-night family visit where the water park is only half the plan and a genuine city evening is the other half, without needing to leave the building to find one that works.
- English pub, restaurant, Italian eatery
- Free breakfast
- On Stortorget
Our take
A strong, central pick for a family who wants Gustavsvik days balanced by proper old-town evenings, right on Stortorget itself. The range of dining options on site is a real advantage after a tiring water park day, though as with any old-town Örebro hotel, reaching Gustavsvik itself means a short local trip rather than a walk.
- ✓Book a table at the Italian eatery ahead on weekend evenings, since it is popular with more than just hotel guests.
- ✓Use the Stortorget location for an easy old-town walk before or after a Gustavsvik day.
- ✓Ask about family rooms early, since the elegant older building has a range of room configurations.

Why guests love itHaving breakfast looking out onto Stortorget before a Gustavsvik day set a good tone every morning, and by evening the choice between the English pub, the Italian eatery and the chic restaurant downstairs meant we never had to decide where to go after a long day at the wave pool, we just decided which one. Two minutes from Nikolai church made the old-town half of the trip feel effortless alongside the water park half.
