Season Hotel

Season Hotel brings a new rhythm to Stockholm’s boutique scene. Just 15 minutes from the city by RIB boat, this family-owned retreat draws on Cape Cod’s coastal charm and pared-back Scandinavian minimalism. Designed for unhurried indulgence, the hotel houses 37 rooms, a spa with twin heated pools and a rooftop bar overlooking Lake Mälaren. Brasserie Season champions local ingredients in vibrant, seasonal plates, while a neighbouring microbrewery offers fresh pours and guided tastings. Notably, Season will debut underwater art exhibitions, where contemporary works shift and shimmer with the movement of the lake.

With 32 uniquely designed rooms, a bistro by Olle T. Cellton and a bar led by Andrés Basile, Stockholm Stadshotell is a bustling hub of creativity. We stopped by for lunch and loved the beef tartare and the radicchio, mozzarella and anchovy salad. A courtyard garden, guest lounge and historic charm make this a an unusual destination in this part of the city destination in the heart of the city.
