What KOSTA LODGE does
Kosta Lodge AB is a hospitality and leisure operator located in Kosta, Småland, southern Sweden, within the historic Glass Kingdom (Glasriket) tourist region. The company operates a multi-format accommodation portfolio comprising 26 hotel rooms in the main building and annexes, 13 self-catering cabins (parstugor) completed in 2015, 56 paved RV/camper pitches with electrical hookup, and glass-walled treehouses (Trädhus) inside the adjacent Kosta Safaripark launched in 2023, totaling 212 bed capacity. Supporting facilities include a 50-seat conference room, an à la carte restaurant with Black Rock grill and bistro menu, two heated outdoor pools with jacuzzis and sauna, an 18-hole adventure golf course, mountain biking trails, and fishing operations covering multiple lakes.
Revenue is generated across roughly nine streams: hotel room rentals, cabin rentals, RV campsite fees, restaurant and bar transactions, conference packages (270-1725 SEK per person), fishing permits and experiences (80-2595 SEK), pool/spa access, seasonal ice cream at Glassbaren Kosta, and event-driven beverage experiences such as Kosta Bryggeri beer tastings. Pricing is unit-based, seasonal, and denominated in Swedish Krona excluding VAT, with lower rates in low season (September 1 - June 26) and peak during the summer and Christmas windows.
Distribution relies on direct online booking via kostalodge.se and the BookVisit platform, walk-in reception bookings, the destinationkosta.se regional tourism portal, co-located foot traffic from Kosta Safaripark and Kosta Outlet, and a dedicated corporate conference sales channel. Kosta Lodge AB is a wholly owned subsidiary of New Wave Group AB, a Swedish publicly traded conglomerate that provides corporate backing, with no separate funding rounds or investor base disclosed.
