Lorentina Wilhelmina Skogh (; 14 December 1849 – 18 June 1926) was a Swedish hotel manager and owned a number of hotels and restaurants in Sweden. In 1888, she married wine trader Per Samuel Skogh (1849–1904). She had one son, Gustav Wahlgren, to an unknown father. He was adopted by a family in Bollnäs that Wilhelmina knew well and changed his last name to Skogh at the age of 15. The early years She came alone to Stockholm from the island Fårö (north part of Gotland) by steam ship at the age of 14 with the intention to get a job and earn some money to support her family on Gotland. Her father died when Wilhelmina was 6 years old and the family became rather poor. She became very impressed by the lifestyle in the 'big city', the fine restaurants and hotels and soon she decided to look for a job in a restaurant to learn the business. Her first job was drying the dishes from early morning to late evening in the restaurant at 'Stromparterren' down below the bridge 'Norrbro', close to the Royal Castle. When she became older she studied in an evening school as well as working, learning languages and book-keeping. From an early age she had the very strong ambition that some day she would have her own company in the hotel and restaurant business. Entrepreneur She built her first hotel at the age of 27 – the railroad hotel in Storvik (outside the town of Sandviken) by the railroad station, and established the Wilhelmina Wahlgren AB company. In 1884 she bought the railroad hotel in Bollnäs, where she spent many years of her life and married Pehr Skogh. She was also appointed the manager for a number of other hotels as she soon got a reputation to rapidly increase the business with new marketing ideas in both the hotel and restaurang business, for instance increasing the use of vegetables in order to cut down on the expensive meat, and introduced new ideas in the tourist business by working together with the London-based Thomas Cook travel agency in order to be able to offer luxury accommodations combined with hunting and fishing in Sweden for rich British visitors. She built private telephone lines connecting her hotels before the telephone system was introduced on a larger scale in Sweden, and installed central heating (steam-heating systems) and electricity with
