Hotel Frantz

The Nordics • Stay • Hotel Frantz in Stockholm, Sweden

What’s the hotel in a nutshell?

Housed in a red-brick townhouse – one of Stockholm’s oldest buildings – is Hotel Frantz, named after Frantz Bock, the master tailor that commissioned the structure in 1647. This quaint and stylish hotel is run by the Pettersson family, whose four family members you’re likely to get personally acquainted with during your stay, and gives guests a remarkably intimate and affordable hospitality experience in the very heart of town.

What are the rooms like?

The expression that good things come in small packages is particularly true at Hotel Frantz, where most of the 48 well-appointed rooms are petite and cosy (there are even bunk bedrooms for those who prefer a snug squeeze). And what they possibly lack in square meters is fully compensated in style and charm. Decorated by interior decor firm Spik Studio, each of the unique rooms features an eclectic, slightly whimsical look, inspired by tailor Frantz’s fashionable muses and cosmopolitan clients.

What else?

One of Hotel Frantz’s main draws is the show-stopping artisanal breakfast with loads of tasty options. The breakfast’s main highlight is the champagne and strawberry-topped layered cake, the latter a true Swedish classic. The restaurant serves up dishes with influences from all corners of the world, and the downstairs bar is a great spot for a nightcap.

What’s the neighbourhood like?

The Slussen area, which connects the Södermalm neighbourhood with Stockholm’s Old Town through a striking golden bridge, is revamped into a vibrant juncture with lots of parks, restaurants and cafés – this is set to be completed in 2025. Just around the corner is Götgatan, a lively pedestrian street that attracts Stockholm’s hip inhabitants, and SoFo, packed with interesting, cool and creative spots, is within walking distance.
