SCANORAMA’S STOCKHOLM
HOTELS
Top notch
Ett Hem
Stockholm’s latest luxury
hotel gets its name from
the Swedish for “a home”
and that’s exactly what it
feels like. Take a bath in the
marble tub by the window,
have a glass of champagne
in the living room, or invite
your friends over for dinner.
Ilse Crawford has furnished
the early 20th-century town
house with a mixture of
modern classics and specially
commissioned pieces. Rooms
from €445.

Skeppsholmen
Ett Hem
Romantic
Hotel
Skeppsholmen
Found on the island of the
same name this stylish hotel
is the perfect getaway for
those who have eyes only
for each other, whether
over a candlelight dinner
or tennis net. Built in the
17th century, the hotel once
served as barracks for the
Royal Swedish Navy but has
since been modernized by
local design trio Claesson
Koivisto Rune with Dux beds
among the creature comforts.
If you can tear yourself away
from your room, the Museum
of Modern Art is next door.
Rooms from €175.

Esplanade
Classic
Hotel Esplanade
This charming, familyowned
hotel occupies a
grand art nouveau building
on fashionable Strandvägen.
Maria Sand and her family
took over in 1986 and have
restored it lovingly, keeping
many of the original details
such as the wood-paneled
walls and furnishings by
luxury department store NK.
Rooms from €140.

Eccentric
Hotel Örnsköld
Wedged in between a bakery
and a sushi bar this tiny
hotel is easy to miss, as it’s
literally just a door in the
wall. Consequently, it’s one
of Stockholm’s best-kept
secrets and a favorite among
actors performing at the
neighboring Royal Dramatic
Theater. The Chesterfield
sofas and general homeliness
have charmed us, too. If
you’re on a budget, book one
of the windowless cabins.
Rooms from €115.
