Located in a charming town that is packed with historical importance, Vimmerby Stadshotell is a quaint-looking hotel and spa welcoming guests seven days a week, all year round. And whether that’s just for the day or to stay a couple of nights, visitors are always encouraged to be in the moment and put their wellbeing first.
With its newly renovated medi-spa, Vimmerby Stadshotell is a destination for relaxation, offering serene surroundings, a multitude of treatments designed in partnership with local skincare business Hudvårdskompaniet and a specially curated spa menu with food and drinks. The spa has a maximum capacity of 15 people (with no children under 13 years allowed) which means there is plenty of space.
“Each spa slot is three hours long, so guests can take their time to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the different amenities,” explains hotel manager Martina Andersson. “We provide guests with a seven-step spa ritual with various products that they can use during their visit. There are also two saunas, two hot springs, infrared chairs and showers which have settings including tropical rain and Caribbean storm. You can also eat and drink as you please, which adds to the overall experience.”
Those who are taking the opportunity to stay the night can expect original rooms with quirky features (see how many squirrel symbols you can find around the building). The hotel, which was first built in 1868, is one of Sweden’s oldest and has a beautiful exterior with large, decorated windows that invite floods of natural light. Its central location also means that guests are close to the city’s shops, restaurants and cafés, as well as Astrid Lindgren’s World – the summer-open theme park dedicated to one of Sweden’s most celebrated authors of children’s books, including Pippi Longstocking.
“There is plenty to do in and around Vimmerby. In autumn, we see many guests coming to hike, cycle and enjoy the outdoors. They might walk the nearby trails during the day, then enjoy our spa in the afternoon followed by dinner in the restaurant,” says Andersson. “Staying with us is a fantastic way to recharge your batteries while knowing that you are being well looked after. People do say that there is a certain spark around here, and although I can’t put my finger on exactly what that means, I know they’re right. I guess you just need to come and experience it yourself.”
