Nyköping has become an important travel hub, thanks to Stockholm South (Skavsta) airport. Scandic Nyköping City has undergone major renovations to improve the hotel and create a modern atmosphere suited for today's efficient travelers. The interior design is intended to mirror the romance and adventure of travel. Twenty-four-hour service and a boutique stocked with most anything a traveler may need are just two examples of improvements. The intent is to offer the same first-class service to everyone, guests with very early departures as well as travelers with late arrivals. Actually, the entire concept has more in common with an airport lounge than with a traditional hotel.

Even though the hotel’s services have been updated to fit our times and today's travelers, the interior design has received much inspiration from the past, a past when air-travel seemed romantic and exotic. Therefore, the reception, bar, and restaurant are all decorated with nostalgic images mixed with modern design and interesting props.
