The hotels in Uddevalla might be few but they all have great standards. We especially recommend the hotel Sköna Rum because you can’t avoid to get charmed by its character. The hotel has nice cozy rooms with wooden floors and an attentive staff. Choose between reasonably priced standard single and double rooms, or charming superior double rooms and mini suites. Sköna Rum has a wonderful breakfast with excellent, freshly brewed coffee for each guest and the hotel is centrally located and close to the railway and bus station. If Uddevalla isn’t relaxing enough for you, you can be even more relaxed at Vann spa, hotel and conference. It’s located thirty minutes outside Uddevalla, in the northern Bohuslän. Vann spa is a fourstar hotel with activities and treatments for all ages. The hotel is placed nearby a lake, which as a guest, when you’re not in the SPA- department gives you the opportunity to go ice-skating. At the spa section there are seven kinds of pools with different themes, such as temperatures, lightsettings and odors. One of the pool-rooms is tiny and dark covered with large granite blocks. From one of the walls flows a red-colored mosaic that looks like a lava-stream and together with the fiery lightening, it creates a dramatic expression. A dip in the Devil’s pot is a hot and intensive experience. If you want a colder experience the Ice-pool is the right choice for you. The water is freezing cold and even if it’s only a few degrees over the freezing point it’s cold enough to keep all, except the toughest on the outside. The Ice-pool is a refreshing experience, especially if you just got up from the Devil’s pot or out from the sauna. Afterwards you will feel more alive than ever before, but this we only recommend for the brave ones. Besides taking dip in the pools, you can receive treatments for both your body and soul. What about a forty minute stone massages for a reasonable price? Or why not a treatment, that includes you being embedded in a chocolate wrap? Vann spa has everything you look for in a relaxing vacation, you can decide whether you want to stay overnight, in one of the modern hotel rooms or just stay over the day. Either way Vann spa will give you a memory worth to remember!
