Welcome to Skostredet Spa
Skostredet is a charming and historic lane just a stone's throw from the city's waterfront, culture and restaurants. Central, yet quiet. Skostredet Hotel & Spa offers a multi-zone spa, where Nordic tranquillity and natural materials create a seamless journey from hot to cold and back to silence. Skostredet Spa combines a pure aesthetic with the elements of nature – snow, steam, heat, and silence in perfect balance. Subtle luxury, soft rituals, and a feeling of breathing a little deeper. It's an experience you should gift yourself.
Our spa philosophy
Skostredet Spa is a sensory journey, where you move through heat, cold, scents, and silence in carefully composed sequences. The materials are bright and clean, the sound is subdued, and the pace is slow – all to make your body relax and clear your mind. We believe in simplicity with quality in the details: precise temperatures, good seating surfaces, clean scents and well thought-out rituals.
Massage treatments with a muscle therapist
Our massage treatments are designed to provide relaxation, improved circulation, and targeted muscle work. You can choose the treatment that fits your needs for the day, whether you want deeper work on tension or a calm, relaxing experience.
NB - Bookings for treatment will open soon.
Spa facilities – elements in balance
Snow room – real snow for fresh contrast before/after warmth.
Cold and hot plunges– rhythms that stimulate circulation and calmness.
Steam sauna – humid, soft heat that melts away tension.

Spa experiences & wellness rituals
Find events and rituals in our calendar. One of our signature rituals is Aufguss: the sauna master pours water with essential oils on the stones and distributes the steam rhythmically in the room – often accompanied by music and short stories.
