The best hotels in Östermalm

Five star luxury

The Hotel Diplomat on Strandvägen has five stars for good reason; you can expect world class service here as well as spectacular views. The hotel has 130 light and airy rooms and exclusive suites all decorated in classic, timeless style. Stockholm nightlife awaits just around the corner.

Urban design hotel

Just a short walk from the hustle and bustle of Stureplan, you'll find Story Hotel, a hip design hotel where raw materials such as concrete and metal, combined with edgy modern art, set the tone. The hotel restaurant Ling Long is a popular spot.

Intimate and exclusive

In just a few years, the gorgeous Ett Hem in Lärkstaden has established itself as possibly the most luxurious hotel in Stockholm - without making a big fuss about it. With just a few rooms and suites it's extremely exclusive and the personal, intimate feel that pervades the whole hotel is unique. Ilse Crawford is responsible for the design, which wows even the most jaded of international visitors and magazines.

Antique elements

The building housing Hotell Kung Carl right next to vibrant Stureplan fronts onto Birger Jarlsgatan, Kungsgatan and Norrlandsgatan. Each hotel room is individually decorated, with classic objects and antiques bought at auction over the years. Don't miss the restaurant Kung Carls Bakficka which is inspired by the home of the hotel owner who lived there during the last turn of the century.

A stone's throw from Stureplan

The historic Elite Hotel Stockholm Plaza is situated right next to Humlegården park and vibrant Stureplan. The hotel offers 143 elegantly decorated bedrooms and a spa with sauna for anyone looking to take a break from the hustle and bustle of big city life. On the hotel's ground floor you'll find the award-winning restaurant Vassa Eggen.

Footballers' favourite

The Scandic Park's location, north of Humlegården on Karlavägen, gives the hotel a unique position. Here, the quiet residential neighbourhood of Villastaden meets the green oasis of Humlegården park, but Karlavägen and the city centre are still just around the corner. It's a particularly great spot if you're a football fan - this is where the Swedish football team usually park their team bus and spend the night when they're in town.

Central meeting place

Scandichotellet Anglais has become a popular meeting place among Stockholmers, who come for something to eat, a drink at the bar, to work for a few hours in the lounge or to visit the roof terrace and enjoy the city pulse from up high. The rooms are decorated in modern style and vary from smaller single rooms to large suites.

Family-owned on Östermalmstorg

The family-owned Mornington opened its doors by Östermalmstorg back in 1973. The hotel's seven floors house almost everything you could want from a hotel; as well as the 221 rooms there's a restaurant, library and health club. Their breakfast buffet and brunch are popular with hotel guests and visitors alike.

Peaceful oasis

Riddargatan, and this hotel named after it, lies just a stone's throw from lively Stureplan. As a contrast to the busy city life outside, the hotel's interiors are an oasis of calm. Comfortable beds in the rooms, a small library and an open fire in the breakfast room are just some of the elements that will make your shoulders drop as soon as you entrer the threshold here.

Romantic fin-de-siècle dream

Neighbouring the archipelago ferries in Nybroviken, you'll find the boutique hotel Esplanade. If you're looking for a personal hotel experience, combined with a fantastic location, packaged in romantic turn-of-the-century style, this is the place to book.

Peaceful neighbourhood

The Clarion Collection Hotel Wellington is centrally situated in Östermalm, with Stureplan just a few minutes' walk away. Despite its handy location, the surrounding area is calm and peaceful, among residential districts with small shops and with Östermalmstorg, with its wide selection of shops and restaurants, just around the corner.
