A perfect hotel in Stockholm! This hotel is totally gorgeous - they've fully embraced a 1920s art deco style and it's very charming. (Fun fact: before the building was a hotel, it housed a department store where Greta Garbo worked as a shop girl!) Giant lobby with a happening bar and a coffee shop. Rooms and bathrooms are quite sizeable by European standards. Ask for a high floor room with a balcony to get a great view and some extra space!
Location is excellent - the hotel is short walk from the Central Station, which has the Arlanda Express tram direct to and from the airport. It's also located next to a large outdoor market and a large indoor food hall (the famous Kajsas Fisk fish soup is located there.) It's a pleasant 15-20 minute walk to Gamla Stan, Stockholm's historic old town. Could not have a picked a better location.
The hotel serves a beautiful complimentary buffet breakfast that is delicious and ample! We've all had the sad, cold croissants that some hotels pass off as continental breakfast; this place has a huge table of breads, cheeses, veggies, and cold cuts (traditional Swedish breakfast), as well as a hot bar with eggs, sausages, bacon, etc. Really filling for a long day outside in freezing temperatures.
Finally, the service at the hotel was excellent. Our luggage was delayed coming off our flight and the concierge was very helpful in getting it delivered to us. Erik was particularly helpful in walking us through some maps of the city and providing guidance on sights and public transportation. The lobby bar is legitimately a happening night spot on the weekends and we can't say enough good things about the bartenders, particularly Oskar, who were friendly and knowledgeable about drinks! Would 100% recommend this place and stay again.
