Hotel Skeppsholmen

Hotel Skeppsholmen is a member of Design Hotels. On the small, vibrant island of Skeppsholmen, attached by bridge to Stockholm?s city center 10 minutes walk, Hotel Skeppsholmen resides in two long buildings that date back to 1699. The two buildings were built to house Sweden?s Royal Marines and is called ?the Long Row?. Hotel Skeppsholmen offers 81 first-class hotel rooms, restaurant and bar, meeting rooms and banqueting facilities. The renowned Swedish design company Claesson Koivisto Rune has decorated the rooms and public areas in a very modern way but still with great respect for the historic values of the old buildings. A restaurant and lounge with 120 seats and a clear Swedish concept from the kitchen will take care of the Swedish heritage. There is also a banquette room with the old wall decorations renovated which seat 130 guests and use the same kitchen as the restaurant. Only 100 meters from the hotel is the Skridskopaviljongen. A small castle looks alike where the old king Oscar the 2nd used to invite his company for hot chocolate when skating. Ideal for both the active and culturally curious guest, the quaint yellow building is next door to the renowned Museum of Modern Art, the fascinating Swedish Museum of Architecture, and the extensive Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, as well as the area?s gorgeous antique ships and waterfront cafi??s. Surrounded by white light and solid colors, many guests report the island of Skeppsholmen?s calming affects upon their senses, while Swedish natives view the islet itself as an urban oasis in the middle of their capital. Casually luxurious, modern and historically protected, this pared-down property gives visitors to Stockholm a taste of the old, a twist of the new, and a whole lot of charm.
