Varvet

The experience doesn't start at the gate.

Hospitality — designed and built

It starts with the booking and lingers long after checkout. We're a Scandinavian design and build studio in Sweden, extending hotels, marinas, and destinations digitally.

Anticipation is half the trip.

The holiday begins at the kitchen table, not in the lobby. Booking is the guest's first meeting with the place, so we build it as part of the experience, not as admin before it. Six years of Min Bokning for ESS Group's hotels taught us where guests decide.

In the moment, almost invisible.

On site, the product should meet the guest and get out of the way. Right place, right time: payments, check-in, and wayfinding that work in sunlight, with sand on the fingers and family in tow. Then they disappear.

Built to last seasons, not sprints.

Guest products live on peaks: midsummer in the marina, summer occupancy, park season. Eight seasons of Dockspot, six years with ESS, and Liseberg's Svenska Designpriset-winning app run on that rhythm. We build for it, and we stay.

The personal contact with Varvet is impressive, especially with Kim.

Senior, small, and in it with you.

You work with the people doing the work, not an account layer. We have built for guests since the first Dockspot season, and we stay through the messy middle until it is right.

In plain words: Varvet is a hospitality design and development studio in Sweden. One senior team extends hotels, marinas, and destinations digitally: booking, payments, check-in, and guest experience products, on Ruby on Rails, React, and React Native. Six years with ESS Group's Min Bokning, eight seasons of Dockspot, and Liseberg's award-winning park app.
