The inn has welcomed travelers to Skeppsbron quay since the eighteenth century, with harbor-facing windows and seventeenth-century cellar vaults below.
What it’s good at

Cellar vaults dating to 1617 incorporate Stockholm's old defensive wall below Skeppsbron quay.
Notable
A subterranean cold plunge and dry sauna set within seventeenth-century brick cellar vaults.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Reisen sits right on the waterfront in Stockholm’s Old Town, with views across to Skeppsholmen and the 19th-century sailing ship Chapman.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Royal Palace is a short walk along the waterfront, and Gamla Stan's cobblestone lanes wind directly behind the building.

The rooms
Selected King rooms and Nordic Suites come with private saunas. Across the front, windows look straight over the water toward Skeppsholmen.
Sauna and cold plunge
A 12°C cold plunge pool and dry sauna sit within brick vaults, where one wall preserves a 300-year-old footprint.
The spa and gym
Wooden loungers rest on slate floors in the subterranean relaxation lounge, and an adjoining gym holds cardio machines and weights.
At the table
Restaurant Reisen serves Swedish brasserie classics on linen-draped tables, and Bar Reiss pours cocktails along the quayside.
How it began
Dutchman Frederik Reiss ran a waterfront coffeehouse here in the 1750s for sea captains, and his daughter later began letting rooms.
