Scandic Opalen

The sauna at Scandic Opalen is an unfussy, modern installation with steady electric heat — exactly what you want after a day exploring Göteborg. Alongside the sauna you will find a jacuzzi and a fitness suite, giving guests a full wellness setting under one roof. Access is open via drop-in access for hotel guests and day visitors, so guests can plan a session whenever the schedule allows. Most guests follow the classic Nordic sauna ritual: warm up steadily in the cabin, step under a cool shower, then sit quietly until the body re-settles, before going around again. The sauna at Scandic Opalen is set up for that easy back-and-forth — a small, controlled space that rewards repetition rather than a single rushed visit. The hotel rounds the experience out with an on-site restaurant and a hotel bar, so the sauna fits inside a wider rhythm of slow drinks, warm light, and easy meals — not just a single facility tacked on. If your time in Göteborg needs a soft landing, Scandic Opalen delivers it through a calm sauna setting and the city's everyday rhythms within easy reach. A warm, restorative pause — exactly where you need it.
