Car parking is available in the nearby square. The hotel has an exciting history that begins after the great fire in Vaxjo of 1840 when eighty farms in the city burned down and half of the population became homeless. Rebuilding plans for the city included a new town square and the residence of the county governor on the north side and the prison on the south side were demolished. The townspeople then built a beautiful town hall and an inn, designed by the architect, Theodor Ankarsvard. In 1852 the building was completed. In 1870 another building was built on Kungsgatan, which together with the older inn, formed the Vaxjo Stadshotel of today. At the turn of the century the town hall was also included in the hotel and in 1906 an extension was added. During the war it was rebuilt again and this is the hotel we see today. The hotel is situated in the centre of town, only 50 metres from the railway station.
