Nordic hotel group "ESS Group" opens Maryhill Estate – A new International destination for the future of hotel experiences

Today at 14:00, ESS Group opens its 13th hotel destination – Maryhill Estate. After several years of renovation, conceptualization, construction, and an investment of nearly 400 million SEK, Maryhill Estate welcomes its first guests today.

Maryhill Estate – A Place for Gastronomy, Spa, Sports, and Exclusive Experiences
Maryhill Estate consists of two unique parts – Hill House and Sugar Club – which together make up the 8-hectare destination of Maryhill. Located in Glumslöv, between Landskrona and Helsingborg just one hour from Copenhagen, Maryhill Estate offers a unique environment in one of Sweden's most beautiful regions. Nestled among rolling fields of rapeseed, ESS Group is now opening the doors to a destination created for both Swedish and international guests to enjoy a new level of hotel experiences.

Hill House – A Place of Historic Elegance
Hill House is the former Örenäs Slott (Örenäs Castle), where the beautiful castle surroundings have been carefully renovated to preserve its charm and history. This part of Maryhill Estate offers guests the chance to experience an atmosphere of refined elegance. Adjacent to Hill House, guests can relax by a large infinity pool with views over the beautiful castle park, the sparkling sea, and the iconic island of Ven. Activities such as pétanque, croquet, and archery are available near Hill House.

Sugar Club – A Modern Resort Experience
At Sugar Club, which forms the resort part of Maryhill Estate, guests will experience a completely different dimension. Here, there is a large and inviting pool club and spa with three pools, 147 newly renovated rooms, and a selection of restaurants and bars to cater to both celebrations, relaxation, and gastronomic experiences. Pool tables, ping-pong, and shuffleboard are naturally part of the experience here. This section of the estate also features a newly built tennis court, two padel courts, a large gym, and a meeting and event venue that can accommodate up to 400 people.

"The first time we passed the former Örenäs Slott and started dreaming was in 2011, and today is the day! Maryhill Estate and today's opening are the result of the hard work of many talented employees, and we are proud, excited, and happy. We are really looking forward to welcoming our first guests to our dream project. This is definitely the most comprehensive and ambitious project we have undertaken since the opening of Ystad Saltsjöbad, and it feels wonderful to offer both Swedish and international guests a place where they can enjoy food, drink, history, nature, sports, music, spa, exclusive comfort, and modern meeting facilities – all in one place." says Jonas Stenberg, CEO of ESS Group.

An International Destination for Both Meetings and Relaxation
Maryhill Estate is not only a place for relaxation but also an ideal destination for both meetings and conferences. Interest from both companies and international weddings has already exceeded expectations, with several dates for 2025 already fully booked. Danish guests make up a larger proportion of visitors than initially forecasted.

A Culinary Destination to Discover for All
Robert “Bobbo” Nilsson is the CEO of Maryhill and has an extensive gastronomic background as Sweden’s Chef of the Year, Chef of Chefs, and the head chef for the Nobel Banquet. With his international experience from Sri Lanka, Dubai, and China, Maryhill Estate also aims to become a culinary destination for both local and international audiences.
"Finally, we are opening! The chef team, led by Martin Hansen, is truly exceptional – and together, we hope to reach food lovers from all over Sweden and, eventually, beyond Scandinavia. It will be a wonderful mix of tradition and innovation where guests will recognize familiar flavors but also be pleasantly surprised. You absolutely can't miss Martin’s triple-fried French fries with our very own spice blend." says Robert "Bobbo" Nilsson, CEO of Maryhill Estate.
