"Long before the Swedish design trio Claesson Koivisto Rune reconfigured this 19th-century stone edifice into an eccentric modernist hotel, the site had achieved a certain notoriety; after a spell as a private residence it was home to a bank where, during a 1970s robbery, the term “Stockholm syndrome” was coined. Later it was pressed into service as a high-end apartment complex, and brands like Marimekko and Acne occupied its retail space. It’s in connection with its current incarnation as the Nobis Hotel, however, that we’re moved to take an interest — what’s otherwise a fairly conventional luxury hotel is elevated to something higher, thanks to the contrast of the buildings 19th-century patina and CKR’s contemporary Scandinavian design sensibility." - Tablet Hotels
