Just outside Stockholm, nestled by Mälaren, you’ll find Hackholmssund, which offers an exclusive and secluded environment for corporate retreats and meetings. Its unique setting allows guests to disconnect from the everyday while still being within easy reach of the capital. 

For Jesper Hyseus, CEO of Hackholmssund, it’s this combination of accessibility and seclusion that sets the venue apart. He says that “Hackholmssund is unique in the sense that it’s relatively close to Stockholm, yet completely secluded” before adding that “the proximity to Mälaren and nature sets the tone for a stay with us – warm, intimate, and incredibly relaxing, yet at the same time well-organized and structured.” 

With its bespoke approach to hosting meetings, Hackholmssund aims to be more than just a venue – it’s a strategic partner for businesses looking to inspire teams, drive innovation, and make meaningful progress. 

Delivering an Unmatched Meeting Experience 

For Jesper and his team, every meeting is an opportunity to create impact. The guests who come to Hackholmssund aren’t just looking for a change of scenery – they’re looking for an environment that fosters productivity and transformation. 

«Most of our guests come to us to make things happen and to develop their business, which naturally comes with high expectations. Our job is to create the perfect conditions for a successful meeting. That means thorough planning before arrival, and once guests are here, an attentive, engaged presence that keeps us one step ahead – allowing our clients to focus entirely on the purpose of their meeting.» 

In other words, at Hackholmssund, hospitality is proactive, not reactive. Every detail is carefully managed so guests can be fully present and engaged in their work. 

VisBook: The Key to Streamlined Operations 

In early 2023, Hackholmssund doubled its capacity for both rooms and meeting spaces, marking a major turning point in its operations. With a growing business and increasing demand, the move from an analog to a digital workflow was essential. 

«VisBook felt like the obvious choice when we transitioned from a highly analog way of working, both internally and towards our guests” Jesper explains, “the system allows us to efficiently manage bookings, sales, meeting coordination, restaurant services, and housekeeping, while also integrating smoothly with our financial system – bringing significant improvements in efficiency.”  

A key factor in this transformation has been mobile access. With VisBook, every team member can access essential information from their phone, making it easier to stay connected and up to date. «Since all employees have access to the system on their mobile devices” Jesper says, “daily operations have become much simpler, creating a sense of involvement that I see as very positive.”  

For Jesper, one of the most valuable features is VisBook’s reporting functionality, which provides instant insights into sales, bookings, and operational efficiency. Jesper says these “make it incredibly easy to track sales, bookings, and other key operational areas quickly and effectively.»  

A New Level of Coordination & Service 

Since implementing VisBook, Hackholmssund has seen a significant shift in how it plans and executes its daily schedules – particularly in the restaurant and conference areas. 

«VisBook has taken our scheduling and planning to a whole new level, especially in the dining and conference departments. The system has brought a sense of calm to our team, making daily operations much smoother.”  

Housekeeping has also seen a significant efficiency boost, ensuring that rooms are ready faster and more effectively managed, with Jesper noting that “planning for the housekeeping team has become much simpler and more efficient, which ultimately improves the guest experience” with Hackholmssund’s goal being “to create such a seamless stay that guests are already looking forward to their next visit when they check out.»  

Exciting Growth Ahead: Weddings & Private Events in 2025 

Hackholmssund continues to evolve, and 2025 marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter – the introduction of private events and weddings. 

«We are opening our doors for private events and weddings in 2025. As always, we will remain exclusive to closed groups, ensuring a private and intimate atmosphere with an exceptional level of service. At the same time, our ambition remains to be Sweden’s most sought-after meeting venue for ambitious companies looking for more than just a standard meeting.”  

A Partnership for Seamless Guest Experiences 

With VisBook supporting Hackholmssund’s daily operations, the team can focus on what matters most – creating unforgettable experiences for their guests. By streamlining scheduling, booking, housekeeping, and reporting, VisBook has helped Hackholmssund increase efficiency, improve service quality, and elevate its status as a premier destination for strategic business meetings. 

Through innovation, technology, and an unwavering commitment to hospitality, Hackholmssund and VisBook are setting new standards for premium business retreats in Sweden.
