Hesselby Slott runs conferences, dinners, weddings and private parties in a 17th-century castle at Hässelby, 20 minutes from central Stockholm. The site has 15 meeting rooms and 68 hotel rooms, and the largest meeting room takes 100 people in theater layout. The castle is themed around Swedish music history and belongs to the group Stockholm Meeting Selection.
Seminars and company events
Meetings are split between the castle itself, the Orangeriet and the Spelmannen building in the park. The hotel sells day conference packages, full-board conferences and offers that include an overnight stay in a single room. Packages can add a music quiz, karaoke in the Music Lounge, a pottery workshop in the castle's vaulted cellar, wine tastings and segway races. For a whole team, the castle can be hired exclusively for your group.
The Music Lounge is a meeting space that comes with two music studios, which suits a team day that mixes work with a session of playing. The Spelmannen building stands in the park and suits groups that want to work away from other guests.
Weddings and receptions
The castle holds weddings and parties and sells a wedding package. It runs drop-in weddings on selected dates, with May 9 and September 26 announced. Dinners can be served in the Orangeriet restaurant for up to 96 people, in the Bonde room for up to 44 people or in Franz Berwalds dining room in the castle for up to 40 people.
