Maryhill Estate
Gatsby-goes-to-the-countryside meets French Riviera resort. Mid-century modern interiors with floral textiles, patterned headboards, and vintage pieces throughout. The Sugar Club tilts Mediterranean-pastel; Hill House is moody 1920s New York. DJ sets start in the late afternoon; evenings get dressed up.
Book a Sugar Club Balcony or Hill House Ocean View room specifically for Öresund Strait views — standard Sugar Club Classic rooms face the park, not the sea
Why It Matters
Named on Travel + Leisure's It List 2025 as one of the world's 100 best new hotels in 'Affordable Luxury.' Featured in Condé Nast Traveller. The estate's name traces back to 1867, when owner August Anderberg named it 'Mariehild' after his wife. Previously home to Sweden's 'sugar king' Carl Tranchell. ESS Group's 13th and most ambitious property — over a decade in the making.
Maryhill Estate is a coastal Swedish resort built on the bones of a 19th-century castle, split across two distinct destinations just meters apart. Hill House is the original Örenäs Castle — 16 rooms, a French-American restaurant, and a sense of old-money glamour that leans hard into oysters and dry martinis. Sugar Club is the newer annex, with 147 rooms, three geothermal-heated pools, 126 sunbeds, resident DJs, and a Mediterranean restaurant that references Greece and Southern Italy. Together: 163 rooms, 16 venues, 8 bars, and a crowd that's as likely to be in tennis whites as poolside robes.
