About Steam Hotel
High-design boutique hotels in Stockholm and Gothenburg are common enough, but the lakeside inland city of Västerås has never seen anything like the Steam Hotel. Here a beautiful old red-brick power plant has been expanded and transformed into an 18-story, 227-room luxury hotel whose “industrial-romantic” interiors would be the talk of many a much larger town. Dining and drinking venues include an upscale steakhouse, a rooftop bar, and Voltage Lounge, which features an indoor pool heated by one of the power plant’s old turbines, as well as an indoor water park, complete with waterslides, spanning eight of the structure’s floors.
