Lydmar Hotel

Lydmar Hotel, Stockholm’s first design hotel, make quite a splash on the hotel scene back when it opened near Stureplan, the city’s nightlife Mecca, in 1993. In 2008 it reopened in a new, more grown-up location, sandwiched between the National Museum of Fine Arts and Grand Hôtel on the waterfront. Behind its grand white stone façade, this urban boutique bolthole offers luxe rooms in generous sizes, a laid-back brasserie beloved by locals and a hoppin’ terrace that ushers the party crowd through Stockholm’s endless summer nights.
