Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set on a quiet corner in Lärkstaden's embassy quarter, the property sits a short walk from Humlegården park and central Östermalm.
The rooms
Bedrooms feature tactile oak, herringbone parquet, and freestanding bathtubs, while select suites include traditional Swedish kakelugnar tiled stoves.
The sauna and hammam
A traditional black-stone sauna and a marble hammam sit downstairs, beside a cold ice-bucket plunge shower.
Gym and yoga shala
The fitness room has rowing and elliptical machines, and a dedicated shala hosts daily yoga classes.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Chefs cook seasonal menus in the open kitchens, and guests gather around communal timber tables or raid the pantry.
Ett Hem combines three early-20th-century townhouses to make a unique, personalized hotel in the middle of central Stockholm.
How it began
Founder Jeanette Mix transformed an original 1910 private Arts and Crafts residence into an intimate guesthouse centered on domestic ease.
“Guests enter through the open kitchen and are encouraged to stay and join the daily pasta making if they wish.”
