Upon check in, guests each receive a signature voco welcome treat that is both unique and representative of the local area. At voco Stockholm – Kista, guests will be offered a typical Swedish treat – a chocolate ball. It is part of Swedish “fika” culture where Swedes take a coffee break to enjoy something sweet and take a break from the day and connect with others.
On the doorstep of the hotel is the area of Kista itself, a vibrant melting pot for different cultures. Guests will have a rich blend of cultures reflected in a variety of restaurants, shops and community events a stone’s through away.
