The Best Hotels and Resorts in Europe and the UK: The Gold List 2025

"Since taking over two neighboring townhouses in 2022, the world's most intimate luxury hotel, in my opinion, has grown up without sacrificing its philosophy of making guests feel truly at home. With the expansion, owner Jeanette Mix’s vision now feels complete. A former parking lot has been transformed into a lush English garden that connects the buildings. An eat-in kitchen serves top-class tasting menus. Plus there’s an in-house sourdough bakery, a wood paneled gym, and more social spaces packed with modern art and Scandinavian design classics. The upgraded Ett Hem is not just a great starting point for experiencing Stockholm. It's a destination in its own right. From $545. —Viola Gad" - CNT Editors
