The 22 Most Notable Hotel Openings of 2020

Pater Noster: For centuries, Sweden’s most iconic lighthouse has served as a beacon for sailors in the isolated locale of Hamneskär Island. It is now also home to the singular Pater Noster hotel. Named for the Latin title of the Lord’s Prayer, the property reflects its sacred namesake beyond just its setting thanks to a design by Gothenburg, Sweden’s Stylt Trampoli that pays homage to the rough waters surrounding it. Crafted as the abode of a lighthouse keeper, the 19th-century structure now accommodates nine guestrooms, a restaurant, bar, and an outdoor café. Locally sourced vintage furniture complements dark woodwork and bespoke focal points like wallpaper detailed with native seaweed and maritime imagery that ensconces guests in an authentic retreat both rustic and warm.
