With a commitment to respecting the natural environment and local traditions, the hotel fosters a strong connection with the spirit of “village community living”. Notably, Hylla Vintage Hotel has garnered several prestigious international accolades, including AHEAD, DEZEEN, LILA, and LI Awards, reflecting its appeal among both domestic and international audiences.
Guests can immerse themselves in a bygone era within the hotel’s interiors, which features a meticulously curated collection of modernist furniture dating from the 1930s to the 1960s, alongside an eclectic mix of vintage furnishings, literature, artworks, and artisanal objects from around the world. This blend of historical ambiance and modern luxury positions the Hylla Vintage Hotel as a living museum of vintage culture, offering a deeply authentic and enriching travel experience.
