When travelling, sometimes it’s an excitement you crave and sometimes, it’s just a slice of serenity you long for from a stay. 

If the latter is what you’re after, these hotels in Stockholm will offer you exactly that and plenty of zen-inducing spaces for you to reflect, rejuvenate, and recharge. 

Hotel Skeppsholmen

Ett Hem

Ett Hem, an iconic hotel created for a homebody, grabs a taste towards luxury and elegance. Translated as “a home,” the 12-room hotel lives up to its name with the home-like feel, thanks to its Scandinavian-meets-country home interior designs and its use of elegant, yet simple decor and furniture. What’s more? Guests can certainly expect five-starred hospitality.

Even the kitchen is reminiscent of dining in a family’s kitchen. Dotted throughout the venue are green spaces aplenty for you to unwind and relax.

Stallmästaregården

This former 17th-century manor turned boutique hotel is a meeting point of past and present.

The boutique hotel infuses contemporary functionality into its centuries-old building whilst still keeping its unique vintage elements as traces of the past throughout its space, so that guests can immerse in the old-school charm and still have ultra comfort.

Located just by Haga Park, the 49-room boutique hotel offers serenity and plenty of nature space for your body to roam free and your mind to wander.
