A historic icon finds new life in the heart of Södermalm—Stockholm Stadshotell has reopened its doors at Björngårdsgatan 23. Originally built between 1873 and 1875 as a tribute to King Oscar I, the building has been transformed into a boutique hotel that blends heritage architecture with thoughtful design, relaxed gastronomy, and warm hospitality. With 32 rooms and suites, two restaurants, a guest lounge, sauna and cold plunge, plus a courtyard garden, the hotel is a meeting place for locals, creatives, and travelers alike.

a room with history and character
No two rooms are alike. Each of the 32 rooms and suites reflects the building’s layered history while offering modern comforts. Timeless interiors feature solid wood built-ins, furniture made from natural materials, and calming, neutral tones. Carefully preserved architectural quirks add character, while contemporary amenities—from bespoke Italian linens to curated minibars and custom bath products—ensure every stay feels both easy and elevated.

food and drink at the center
Dining is integral to the experience at Stockholm Stadshotell. Under the creative direction of chef Olle T. Cellton, the hotel’s two restaurants explore Nordic flavors shaped by global techniques and seasonal local produce. In summer, the courtyard becomes a relaxed garden restaurant, while the buzzing bistro downstairs serves a menu that changes daily. Upstairs, the restored chapel offers a more curated and intimate dining experience. Even the minibar and honesty bar are shaped by the same philosophy—every item selected by the in-house culinary and sommelier team.

a living room for the city
Carefully restored in collaboration with local artists, architects, and craftspeople, the hotel blends tradition with forward-thinking design. It’s a place where neighbors drop by for lunch under a parasol, where visiting artists might linger in the lounge, and where international guests discover a slower, more intimate side of Stockholm.

Stockholm Stadshotell isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to gather, to explore, and to feel at home in one of Europe’s most creative neighborhoods.
