Located in Stockholm’s archipelago, 30 minutes from the city centre, Yasuragi is not something you’d expect to find in Sweden. That’s because it’s essentially a Japanese ryokan (inn), which was even originally designed (albeit as conference centre) in 1970 by a Japanese architect, Yoji Kasajimait. It was in 1997 that it became a spa hotel and after additions and extensions, now boasts 191 Japanese-design-inspired rooms as well as a spa that centres around a beautiful Kyoto-inspired pool. Even the dress code is Japanese: yukata (casual summer kimonos) are perfect for slipping on and off during your daily activities of swimming, yoga, massages, saunas, meditations, and chilling out with a book.
