Steam Hotel in Västerås Review: The Absolute Best! If You Don't Visit...
Steam Hotel in Västerås Review: The Absolute Best! You're seriously missing out if you don't visit at least once in your life 🇸🇪✨
Let me tell you, if you're traveling to Sweden and getting bored of the usual plain, minimalist hotels, you have to check this place out! They turned a century-old lakeside power plant into a hotel, and the design is incredibly badass and raw. It gives off authentic Luxury Industrial vibes. Every angle you shoot looks absolutely stunning.
🚗 Getting here from Stockholm is super easy and fast!
The city of Västerås isn't far from Stockholm at all. You can choose how you want to travel based on your vibe:
· By train (Super chill, hassle-free):** Hop on a train from Stockholm Central Station (Stockholm C) and head straight to Västerås Central Station. It only takes about an hour. Super quick! From the station, it's just a short bus or taxi ride to the hotel.
· *Driving yourself:** Drive out of Stockholm and head west straight down the E18 highway. The distance is a little over 100 kilometers and the drive takes only about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The roads are easy to navigate, and the scenic views along the way are a delight.
🍸 The vibe inside is insane... Mysterious yet incredibly chic
The moment you walk in, you're hit with a mysterious, alluring vibe. The lighting is dim and a bit moody, with candles lit all around the hotel. The dining area downstairs is fully decked out in vintage style. Emerald green tiled walls contrast beautifully with velvet leaf-patterned chairs. And check out those orange-pink fringed lamps! There's also a quirky touch with a shark model placed right in the center. Their attention to detail is off the charts. Sitting there, sipping cold drinks, and chatting away is pure bliss.
🌆 The Ultimate Highlight: A million-dollar view Rooftop Bar you must check in at!
The peak moment that makes you think, "Yeah... I definitely had to come here," is the rooftop bar (Locavore). I highly recommend coming up here around early evening.
Evening (Chill lakeside vibe): Up at the bar, they've placed a massive tree right in the middle, surrounded by giant floor-to-ceiling glass windows offering endless views of Lake Mälaren. You can sit in the semi-outdoor zone,
soak up the natural light, and sip your drink while enjoying the breeze for hours.
Night (Romantic/Stunning vibe): When it gets a bit later and the whole city lights up, looking out through those same giant windows is breathtaking. The lights of Västerås contrasting against the deep, moody blue twilight sky is drop-dead gorgeous. Sipping cocktails with a group of friends or bringing your date here with this view is just top-notch.
💬 Conclusion
This isn't just a hotel for sleeping; the design is phenomenal. It's perfect for a getaway, soaking in the aesthetic decor, enjoying the spa (their spa is super famous), and then heading up to hang out at the rooftop bar for endless photo ops.
Clear your schedule for your next day off and pin this place for your next adventure... The real thing is way more beautiful than the pictures! 🥂🎒
