In the heart of Stockholm’s Vasastan district, beneath the elegant façade of Elite Palace Hotel, lies Vana Spa – a tranquil urban escape where time seems to slow. With its soothing pools, refined design, and tailored treatments, the spa offers a haven for guests seeking balance, rest and renewal amid the city’s pulse.

Vana Spa opened in 2020 as part of a vision to create a modern oasis within the capital. “From the moment our guests step inside, we want them to feel how the tempo softens and the world outside fades away,” says Mona Konuralp from Elite Palace Hotel. “The feeling we strive for is a harmonious blend of elegance, serenity, and recovery – so that every visitor leaves both physically and mentally restored.”

The atmosphere is built through thoughtful detail. Natural materials, muted tones, gentle lighting, and carefully selected scents and music combine to create what Konuralp calls an elegant environment. “It’s not just about design,” she explains. “It’s about the total experience – how every sense is engaged to create exclusivity and balance.”

Guests can unwind in the tranquil pool or hydromassage Jacuzzi, breathe deeply in the steam and dry saunas, or retreat to the quiet zone – a dimly lit space for still meditation. A 300-square-metre gym invites those seeking to complement relaxation with movement, while five treatment rooms offer Vana’s signature rituals for face and body.

Among the most popular experiences are the Duo Spa Retreat, a romantic escape for two featuring a joint treatment, and the Family Get Away, where parents enjoy the spa while children play at the nearby Palace Playground – a combination Konuralp describes as “relaxation and joy for the whole family.”

Together with Elite Palace Hotel’s 382 rooms, two popular restaurants, and warm hospitality, Vana Spa Vasastan forms a complete experience of urban wellbeing – where calm, care, and contemporary elegance meet in perfect harmony.
