Christmas buffets at Calor
At Hotel Varmaland, Advent is a time of good traditions, company and festive gatherings. Every year we hold Christmas buffets that have long been part of many guests' preparations for Christmas, with dishes our chefs prepare with warmth and care — from the classics to delicious new ones. Each year the Friends of Varmaland give us a Christmas tree from Varmaland, and it stands lit in the hotel's lobby. For a group, use the form below.
