Our story and what we can do together
Once upon a time in 2007, a group of young boys had an ambitious dream to transform a sleepy, run-down beach hotel with low occupancy, Ystad Saltsjöbad. They had borrowed money from aunts and uncles and mortgaged their houses. But nevertheless, they had hard work and the determination that it would be possible to change and make it into a place that guests wanted to return to often. The goal from day one was to create regulars, or as we say in Swedish “stamgäster”. Hiring and working with individuals and characters who were passionate about hospitality, guests, food, drink, service, and activities. That was the most important thing for us then, and now, even more.
Today- We are almost at 16 destinations and never use the word hotel. The reason is simple, our places are filled with so much more than just rooms. Rooms are an effect of all the other things that you put into a destination. We are convinced that guests want to be surprised and experience many different things. We are also sure that the geographical location where we build the destination is of minor importance. The guest must be seen, welcomed, served, and given the opportunity to experience exactly what they want.
We believe in creating personalized destinations, love details, decor, food, drink, pools and the social that comes with it. We also believe in training, sports, music, artists, art, photography and events. We are driven by passion, playfulness, professionalism, and curiosity and since the beginning have created profitability through the ambition of unforgettable guest experiences with a personal touch. To sum it up: on days when everything comes together perfectly, we proudly declare that ‘We create moments of happiness.’
For many years we said we would never have something called “ESS Office”. The reason for that was because we, who work as a central support, are a part of our destinations. Out of nowhere we got too big for that and could no longer squeeze in at all the different places (we took up too much room and it would affect the guests). And because the most important thing for us is the well-being of our guests, and of course our employers, you will now find our headquarter at Jacy’z Hotel & Resort, which opened in 2022.
