3-star hotel with rooftop terrace and maritime décor in Stockholm's Södermalm

Dining

The Sjöfart restaurant serves traditional Scandinavian and international cuisine, with outdoor dining options available during warm weather. Guests enjoy an organic breakfast each morning, included in the stay, with a wide selection of Swedish foods. The rooftop bar offers food and drinks with views of the Saltsjon bay and Djurgården island.

Wellness

The hotel provides free access to a relaxation area with a sauna and a fully equipped gym. Separate male and female saunas are available, along with fitness/spa locker rooms. The gym is noted as one of the best among boutique hotels in Stockholm for its range of equipment.

Location

Located in Södermalm, the hotel is a 5-minute walk from Stockholm's Old Town. The Slussen metro station is 100 metres away, and Djurgården ferries to Gröna Lund Amusement Park and the Vasa Museum are within a 10-minute walk. Direct bus and metro connections to the city centre and airports are available from the nearby transport hub.

Family

Family rooms include a bunk bed adjacent to a king-sized bed, allowing small children to sleep with parents. The hotel offers a range of kids' meals and activities, with a minimarket on site for convenience. The rooftop terrace provides a safe outdoor space, and the location near parks and attractions makes it easy for families to explore.

Pet-Friendly Amenities

Pet-friendly rooms are available, allowing guests to travel with their pets without extra restrictions. The hotel does not charge additional fees for pets, and the location in Södermalm offers nearby parks for walking. A pet plate is provided upon request, and staff are trained to assist with pet-related needs.

“There's a maritime soul to this place, a nod to nautical history that feels fitting, given the location. I think its real strength lies in the balance - a spot easily accessible yet somehow set apart, where Södermalm's buzz meets a quiet sort of comfort. It's a solid base for families wanting to explore Stockholm; the breakfast alone makes a compelling case.”
