What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Kungsträdgården park spreads out across the street, with the Royal Swedish Opera and Gamla Stan a short walk south.
The rooms
Gustavian molding and rich fabrics shape the bedrooms, which range from compact single quarters to expansive suites.
The spa
The gym
Olympic cross-country skiers Anna Haag and Emil Jönsson helped design the vaulted cellar gym, set beside separate saunas.
Restaurant
Brasserie Makalös
A curving wrought-iron staircase climbs through the dining room, where steak minute and French wines are served beneath living green walls.
At the table
Crystal Bar pours champagne in the central courtyard, where wooden liquor trolleys roll between linen-draped tables.
How it began
Commissioned in 1764 for Countess Eva Bielke, the stone residence stayed in the Piper family for over two centuries.
