Hudiksvall is also known as Glada Hudik (Happy Hudik), a term that originated in the 19th century as word spread of its friendly hospitality and its lively social life. In the center of Hudiksvall and close to the harbor, First Hotel Statt is located just 300m from major transport connections. Originally from 1878 the majestic First Hotel Statt has now been carefully restored and features a spa complete with indoor pool, sauna and fitness studio.
