The best hotels in Kungsholmen

The iconic Amaranten was built at the end of the Sixties and is now part of the Clarion chain. The interiors were given a makeover in 2016 when the Tengbom architect firm was commissioned to give the hotel a modern facelift that flirts with the original Sixties glamour. There's also a brasserie and bar. 

The Courtyard by Marriott has several hundred hotel rooms with large windows looking out over Rålambshovsparken and Lake Mälaren. The decor is ultra-modern and there's a fitness centre open 24 hours a day. You can stroll into the city along the waterfront or, if you'd rather stay put, the restaurant Soth's Kitchen is on site.

Scandic Go hotels are simple, modern and stylish hotels that offer the essential amenities for a hotel stay. Ideal for urban travellers who prefer to explore the city or work rather than hang out in their hotel room. Check-in and check-out, food ordering and payment are done digitally, and there's simple food and drink available at the reception. The hotel is located right by Fridhemsplan and within walking distance of both Norr Mälarstrand and Stockholm Central Station. Fridhemsplan also has many public transport connections with both buses and the subway.

If you want to experience the Venice of the North sleeping on the water, the M/S Monika ship moored alongside Kungholms strand could be just the place. Sleep in charming cabins with nautical decor on a ship that's more than 100 years old. Breakfast is included in the room rate and during the summer you can soak up the sun on the deck and in winter get cosy in the lounge.
