Steam Hotel takes conferences of up to 500 people in its Grand Hall, runs 15 more rooms from 16-seat boardrooms to 200-person flexible rooms, and has 263 bedrooms above them, in a former steam power plant on Lake Mälaren in Västerås. It suits a two-day kickoff, a residential seminar or a company party where the evening program matters as much as the agenda.
Seminars and company events
The Grand Hall measures 488 square meters. It seats up to 500 in rows, up to 352 at school tables, up to 400 at long tables and up to 248 at round tables. Ten flexible rooms of 40 to 200 square meters cover breakouts and mid-size meetings, from 16 to 200 people in rows and up to 150 at long tables. Four boardrooms of 20 to 32 square meters seat 16 at fixed tables. The Cinema, a 45 square meter screening room, has 21 armchairs for presentations or a private film.
Day conferences include a conference host for the whole meeting, technical equipment, breakout areas, water, fruit, notepads and flip charts, and access to the Pool Club. Residential packages add bedrooms, shared meals and a separate banquet kitchen. Event bookings come with a concierge and an event coordinator. Add-ons include golf simulators, private karaoke rooms, a murder-mystery game called Cold Case, wine tastings, casino tables played with play money and the Kokpunkten action bath. Steam Live, the hotel's stage, hosts stand-up, concerts and dinner clubs. World Travel Awards named Steam Hotel Sweden's leading conference hotel for 2026.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel hosts celebrations and parties, and the Chambre Séparée, two private dining rooms for up to 20 guests each, works for family dinners and small receptions. The website does not describe a wedding offer, so ask the team directly about ceremonies and larger receptions.
Accommodation
There are 263 bedrooms across 15 floors, in about 13 categories from standard rooms to suites, including windowless rooms sold for sleep. On the seventh floor, the Voltage Lounge Pool Club covers about 1,000 square meters of pools and saunas with views over the lake, open to guests aged 18 and over.
Catering
Four restaurants and bars share the building. Chamberlin Grill on the first floor serves breakfast, a lunch buffet, brunch and grill dishes, with a Chef's Room on Fridays and Saturdays. Locavore on the 18th floor serves Asian fusion dinners. Di Sopra is an Italian kitchen, and The Rooftop Bar on the 18th floor is open daily from late morning to after midnight. Groups can book a family-style dinner in a private room.
History and setting
The building is a steam power plant from 1917, converted into an 18-floor hotel. The industrial structure stands on the shore of Lake Mälaren, and its upper floors look over the water and the city of Västerås.
Getting there
Steam Hotel is at Ångkraftsvägen 14 in Västerås, close to the central railway station and about 55 minutes from Stockholm. Västerås Central has direct trains from Stockholm.
