A Magical Weekend At Wanås Eating Theater Hotel

I dear a weekend get-away don't you? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few weeks dorsum I was invited to watch Wanås Restaurant Hotel, a pattern hotel on the Wanås estate, deep inwards the pump of the Skåne countryside hither inwards Southern Sweden. The magnificent estate is also dwelling to a fairytale medieval fortress, a Sculpture Park (Wanås Konst) as well as an organic farm. Doesn't that audio romantic?! And estimate what? It also tied inwards perfectly alongside my husband's birthday! Needless to say, I was packing our weekend pocketbook faster than I could say "Ja!". Here are a few pictures I captured from our magical stay.

Wanås has a long history of inviting guests as well as fine art lovers, however, it wasn't until May. 2017 the estate opened its commencement hotel. Located inwards a converted 18th century building, architect Kristina Wachtmeister (one of the members of the household unit of measurement spot who lives on the estate) joined forces alongside Amundsen + Jansson to create the xi room hotel. The squad worked difficult to keep many of the master copy details of the building, including 1 metre thick walls as well as beautiful beams as well as created an interior that combines "Nordic pattern as well as sustainability, alongside locally sourced materials".



One of our favourite rooms was the communal lounge. We completely made ourselves at dwelling past times the burn downwards alongside a drinkable (so perfect for warming the cockles later a snowy walk through the sculpture park!).

Pictures: 'Pappa och jag' past times Ylva Ogland as well as 'En annan väg' past times Ann-Sofi Sidén to the right. 







Another affair that makes the lounge toasty is that guests are invited to pour themselves a loving cup of java (or something stronger from the bar) as well as curl upward on the sofa alongside an fine art as well as pattern majority from the library (I powerfulness fifty-fifty accept added my ain one!).  

Kristina was neat to role local resources wherever possible. The stairway leading to the commencement flooring is made from oak from the estate.

All xi hotel rooms accept been individually decorated. Ours had high vaulted ceilings alongside master copy beams, equally good equally a modest library of books, especially designed slice of furniture past times Christian Halleröd Design as well as a B&O Bluetooth speaker to play our favourite tunes! It would accept been fairly slow to hang out at that spot all weekend!

I LOVED the pinkish tiles alongside dark grouting inwards the en-suite bathroom. How fab are they? I intend I powerfulness simply accept to steal this thought at home? We were also treated to an Ifö roll-top bath (love a proficient soak, how most you?!). 

After a piddling chilling, nosotros tucked into the most delicious brunch at the Wanås restaurant. The carte du jour is influenced past times its surroundings: "the forests teeming alongside game, mushrooms, berries, as well as the organic farm that produces milk as well as meat, equally good equally vegetables."

Pictured: RUBN lights & Hans Wegner sofa upholstered inwards leather from the Wanås estate. 

Note to Local friends - don't fille this brunch if yous caput to the sculpture common for the day!! Then again, yous practise kinda desire to remain the nighttime or you'll fille out on the 4 course of pedagogy supper - a truthful testimony to the chef's vision, as well as no uncertainty 1 of the reasons why the eating spot is included inwards The White Guide, 2018.

Skåne beingness Skåne, yous tin never quite rely on the weather. But equally the famous Swedish proverb goes: "there's no such affair equally bad weather, only bad clothing," as well as Wanås Restaurant Hotel has it covered alongside a really handy mudroom consummate alongside Stutterheim raincoats (also available here) as well as unlike sized wellies for guests to borrow!

So, it was inwards this vein nosotros wondered out to Wanås Konst which tin live on glimpsed behind the medieval fortress (home to the Wachtmeister household unit of measurement as well as ofttimes accommodating artists from all over the globe working on their exhibits).


Run past times an independent, non-profit foundation, the estate houses seventy site-specific contemporary artworks outdoors as well as within the gallery. In the wintertime the indoor gallery (and shop) is closed for a few months (it's opened upward betwixt halt of March until December) but at that spot were enough of incredible pieces to sentiment inwards the common alone, including plant past times Anna Hamilton, Yoko Ono as well as Ann-Sofi Sidén.

Just equally nosotros stepped out the Sun appeared from nowhere as well as the golden lite filtered through the trees, placing a halo closed to the snowflakes falling from the sky. It was magical!
 

If you're anything similar me as well as experience the demand to comport upon EVERYTHING, you'll live on pleased to listen many of the sculptures are interactive, alongside some artists fifty-fifty claiming their operate isn't consummate without people on them, inwards them or past times them. This also makes it a GREAT identify for families! 

Featured sculptures: 'Two Different Anamorphic Surfaces' past times Dan Graham, 'Together as well as Apart' past times Antony Gormley,  'Old Sow Between The Trees' past times Hannelie Coetzee, as well as 'A House for Edwin Denby' past times Robert Wilson. 

I accept to say, nosotros were deplorable to leave! If you're visiting Sweden I tin SO recommend a weekend remain at this magical hotel - or if fourth dimension is of the essence, at to the lowest degree swing past times for brunch as well as a lovely walk (art as well as Swedish nature - what's non to love?!).

"This twelvemonth volition live on colourful, sparkling as well as large scale. We're really excited," says Elisabeth Millqvist.

And who are nosotros to fille out?!
