The house
RadissonJugendstil waterfront revival
Overlooking Nybroviken harbour, the restored Jugendstil landmark balances quiet Scandinavian minimalism with a bustling glass-roofed central atrium.
“In the 170 guestrooms, a circular theme, with round mirrors and globe-shaped pendant lights by local outfit Zero Lighting, takes its cues from the original arched windows.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Interiors styled in custom Strand Gray tones, walnut joinery, and an atrium illuminated by three hundred pendant lights.
Notable
A 1912 Art Nouveau landmark built for the Olympic Games, crowned with an oxidized copper roof.
Notable
Eighth-floor rooftop bar Charles hosts sunset DJ sessions alongside a glass-roofed ground-floor atrium for cocktails.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Wallpaper*.
A recent makeover leaves it looking sharp and contemporary, not achingly hip, but a mellower sort of contemporary that will appeal to the business travelers.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Ferries depart directly from Nybrokajen outside, with the Royal Dramatic Theatre and Gamla Stan both an easy walk away.
The rooms
Understated geometric furniture, tactile fabrics, and circular mirrors cultivate a calm haven, with high windows opening to Nybroviken views.
The gym and sauna
Cardio machinery and free weights fill the 24-hour gym, alongside a traditional on-site sauna for recovery.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The Strand
Navy velvet banquettes sit under illustrated murals, with tables set for Swedish brasserie classics along the waterfront.
At the table
Evenings begin over drinks at the luminous ground-floor bar counter and move up to the harbour-facing rooftop terrace.
How it began

Built to house visitors for the 1912 Olympic Games, the building later became a favorite Stockholm retreat for Greta Garbo.
