Tres Hombres Art was founded at the end of the 80s, right after Per Gessle had become a part owner of the hotel with Björn Nordstrand. Per and his wife Åsa Gessle were planning to buy a sculpture for their garden, but the art dealer went bankrupt before the deal was finalized, so the sculpture ended up with a liquidator. A deal with the sculptor was made anyway—but only on the condition that the Gessles bought the entire art collection of 1 300 pieces.

With 23 000 sqm of space to fill, the idea to transform the newly acquired hotel into a gigantic art gallery was born. Together with friends and collaborators Lasse Nordin and Jan Beime, Per created Tres Hombres as a means to give the hotel a pop culture edge that would be totally unique in the business.

Today it’s one of the most celebrated photo art galleries in Sweden. As a guest at Hotel Tylösand you have the privilege to enjoy rare masterpieces that can otherwise only be found on museums and art galleries around the globe.
