THE NECTAR

Rooms: The bright rooms have large and beautiful windows, and are adorned with modern Scandinavian design. Muted colours, wooden elements, and geometric forms - the best thing about this hotel is the typically understated Swedish approach to architecture and interiors. 

Specials: Most of the products used here are made in Sweden, everything from the homemade apple juice to the fabulous scented bath products from Swedish brand Byredo. Then there is the breakfast we’d love to eat every morning for the rest of our lives if we could. Don’t miss the fruit bread and the cinnamon buns! Of course, the service is also pretty fabulous. If you ask Managing Director Joachim what’s special about the hotel he answers without hesitation: “The most important thing for us is and always was service and hospitality. Many current (trendy) hotels forget about that.” Rest assured, service has not been forgotten at Hotel Skeppsholmen; the incredibly friendly and service-oriented staff is second to none.

THE PULSE

Located on an island in the middle of Stockholm, Hotel Skeppsholmen is uniquely situated to provide a sense of the Swedish countryside right in the city. You’ll be spoilt for choice: stay on the island, pretend it’s yours, read a whole book in a day while eating cinnamon buns. Or leave the island and explore the exciting city of Stockholm, full of creative and innovative corners and people.
