Transit commons perch
Directly across from Central Station, the soaring limestone atrium brings together commuters, locals, and international travelers.
What it’s good at
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Arlanda Express and Central Station wait right across the street, with Gamla Stan and Kungsholmen within easy walking distance.
The rooms
Soundproof triple glazing buffers city noise across light wood rooms, while windowless Cabin options are tailored for pure sleep.
The gym and saunas
The 24-hour gym opens onto an outdoor workout terrace, backed by separate men's and women's saunas and a steam room.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Capital
The eighth-floor sky bar centers on a long copper table, looking out over Riddarfjärden and Stockholm City Hall.
Restaurant
The Market
Amber glass pendants illuminate the dining room, where daily breakfast buffets spotlight organic and local Swedish produce.
How it began
Standing as the third Continental on this corner since 1878, the tiered complex is built directly above the Citybanan station.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
