Hotel Skeppsholmen
Skeppsholmen, Stockholm
Condé Nast Traveler
“Transforming a military barracks into a luxury hotel isn’t an easy task, particularly when the building, dating from 1699, is so historic that structural changes are forbidden.”
Vibe
Stockholm design studio Claesson Koivisto Rune brought muted archipelago tones to long, yellow royal barracks set on a quiet island.
“Minimalist island oasis”
A 1699 royal naval barracks by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger, protected as a Swedish national monument.
Claesson Koivisto Rune paired minimalist Scandinavian fittings with preserved eighteenth-century stone stairs and timber shutters.
Restaurant and Bar Långa Raden serves seasonal Swedish plates alongside an outdoor waterfront terrace.
On leafy Skeppsholmen island beside Moderna Museet, a short stroll across the bridge to central Stockholm.
Rooms
Misty palettes frame park views, paired with deep Dux beds, traditional wooden shutters, and freestanding Italian Boffi washbasins.
Wellness
A compact gym handles indoor workouts, while Sweden's oldest outdoor tennis court sits along the waterfront, originally built in 1882.
Backstory
Built in 1699 for royal guards using bricks salvaged from ruined Swedish castles, the complex later served as a naval hospital.
Eat & drink
Restaurant and Bar Långa Raden serves traditional Swedish classics alongside seasonal produce harvested straight from the hotel kitchen garden.
The neighborhood
The leafy island of Skeppsholmen hosts Moderna Museet next door, with central Stockholm just a stroll across the footbridge.
