World's first Raison d'Etre Spa opens at the Grand Hotel Stockholm

Raison d’Etre , one of the world’s leading spa development and management consultancies, has opened the doors to its first own branded spa this month at the landmark Grand Hotel Stockholm in Sweden.

Raison d’Etre Spa at The Grand Hotel Stockholm is the first flagship spa under the Raison d’Etre name. The Nordic-inspired Raison d’Etre spa celebrates the history and landscape of the Swedish archipelagos and expertly blends Swedish materials, design traditions and natural resources with a contemporary design. Stunning features include waterfalls and the use of slate in the swimming pool to create the sense of Swedish waters, heated lime stone floors and ash-clad walls (ash was the World Tree in Nordic Mythology) and beautiful mosaic walls with pictures of the Swedish archipelago, one which forms a backdrop to the cold water plunge pool. Every possible detail is organic, fair trade and sustainable from the use of FSC native wood, recycled glass, low emission paint, energy saving filters, all the towels and linen and so much more.
