Stay by area: our top hotel picks in Djurgården, Stockholm

Sitting on Djurgården’s museum strip, Backstage Hotel is the hotel you book when you want Stockholm with a backstage pass. Housed in the same building as ABBA The Museum and redesigned by DinellJohansson in 2022, Backstage Hotel leans fully into its creative DNA. The architecture by Johan Celsing holds its own among the park’s trees, but it is the interior that hits first: neon, sculptural objects, pop references and a lived-in theatrical mood. Rooms come with handmade Swedish beds, Meraki toiletries and French balconies overlooking the water. Konsthallen handles breakfast, lunch and dinner with a menu of sharing plates, while Pop Story and Visitors Bistro keep the energy going from daytime fika to late-night bites.
