Vaihmalan Hovi is a 1914 manor hotel on Lake Vanajavesi near Lempäälä, with a bright lakeview banquet hall for up to 92, a garden pavilion open from May to September and 25 individually designed guest rooms.
Vaihmalan Hovi stands on the shore of Lake Vanajavesi, a few kilometres outside Lempäälä, in a manor house dating from 1914. It is still run as a family-owned hotel, and the setting keeps a domestic scale: a bistro in the main house, a lakeside sauna, a boutique, and a guest pier for those who arrive by boat along the waterway.
The celebration hall, Juhlasali, is the centre of a wedding here. It seats up to 92 guests, has windows facing the lake and opens directly onto the buffet table. Smaller rooms, among them Sylvian kabinetti for around 36, Augustin kabinetti for 18 and the brick-walled Viikinkikellari for 16, suit rehearsal dinners or family gatherings. From May to September the Puutarhapaviljonki, a garden pavilion, offers an outdoor alternative for twenty to fifty guests, with buffet or cocktail-style service.
