What’s the hotel in a nutshell?

Yasuragi emerges as a refreshing crossroads where the rich traditions of Japan and the rugged beauty of Scandinavia converge. Situated a stone’s throw from Stockholm in Hasseludden, it embodies a seamless fusion between Japanese and Scandinavian spa cultures, promising an experience unlike any other. The journey into Yasuragi’s world commences the moment guests arrive. The surrounding woodland, coupled with breathtaking sea views, introduces a palpable sense of calm long before the official check-in, making it the go-to destination for those looking to juxtapose a bustling city tour with a serene, nature-filled retreat.

What are the rooms like?

Echoing the serenity of its surroundings, the rooms at Yasuragi are an embodiment of tranquillity and understated luxury. Among the 191 minimalistically designed spaces, guests will discover a range of choices from Standard to Superior rooms and larger suites. Each room is a deliberate nod to Japanese minimalism, showcasing elements such as low beds, refined pine floors, delicate paper lampshades and ethereal sliding window screens. The bathrooms are no less enchanting. Some invite guests into a world of wooden tubs and traditional washing stations, while others offer spellbinding vistas of the nearby water. But Yasuragi’s dedication isn’t merely skin deep – its commitment to sustainability is evident in every detail, from the decor to the eco-friendly toiletries provided.

What else?

Slip into the yukata – a casual summer kimono – you receive at check-in and begin your spa journey, moving from Kyoto-inspired pools to sleeping saunas and from carbonated baths to tranquil mountain wells. For those yearning for unique sessions, try sauna yoga or indulge in a bamboo massage. Three restaurants cater to varied palettes: Saishoku champions vegan and raw dishes, A La Carte offers modern Japanese-inspired fare and Teppanyaki Restaurant delivers an interactive culinary performance. The cocktail bar serves as a must-visit spot, with delights like the Yuzu margarita waiting to be sipped. Morning greets guests with a breakfast buffet, but the Japanese hot food selection, featuring miso soup and salmon, stands out as the undisputed star.
