..”a home”…and this is what they are aiming to achieve.
LOCATION
In the city. Walking distance from all the main attractions.
ROOMS
Quite spacious and with a lot of decor. Quite the opposite of what you call “Scandinavian minimalist design”. Books, newspapers….all to achieve that “home” feeling.
Nice amenities also if they come with a price….
Views are on the surrounding street in a very quite and calm area of the City of Stockholm.
LOBBY & COMMON AEREA
The lobby is small and cosy. An open fire place and a bar in a corner.
The Orangeries is maybe the part I prefer the most. Cosy, warn and here you can enjoy breakfast or a warm tea.
The kitchen is open and you can enjoy meals and breakfast here too.
RESTAURANTS
None.
GYM&POOL ETC
Located in the basement of this old building it offers a small but well equipped gym, a hamam and a sauna.
MEETINGS
a small room connected with the lobby up to 12 people can meet here.

Wow, the rooms look absolutely great.Do you like the Ett Hem or the Grand Hotel more? I’ll stay at the latter one soon, so that’ll be great to know! 🙂

Well two different things. Grand has more facilities and a nice bar to hang out, meet people or have a business lunch. Ett Hem is more of a bb feeling. Very little and much more cosy and private. Price wise they are more or less the same. Ett Hem can be more expensive some periods.

Really interesting. Sometimes the decision between two places is really tough even though they are very different. A bb feeling at times is really nice while amazing facilities have advantages, too. Not an easy decision. Thanks for the “guide” nevertheless 🙂
