Hotel Stureplan is located smack in the middle of the area called Stureplan. Stureplan is an energetic  area with many of the best spots when it comes to food, drinks, theatre, party, Spa and shopping. This is an area not to miss when visiting Stockholm.  

The main square at Stureplan (100 meters from the hotel) is called Svampen (The Mushroom) by Stockholmers because of the large mushroom shaped concrete pillar in the center. This spot is where many meet their friends after work before heading out for a glass of wine at one of the many restaurants close by.

Hotel Stureplan is a very private, discreet boutique hotel with a lot of personality. 

With the 19^th century building comes a feeling of walking into an old apartment building with a lot of class and style. You want to put on your nicest dress, high heels and sip on a glass of champagne before heading out on new adventures right outside the doors.

They have several different room categories. The modern ones are located in the attic, the rooms without windows with a yacht design (surprisingly bright and airy), the classical ones with high ceilings, 18^th century interior and last but not least the magnificent chandeliers. I had the pleasure of staying in one of these rooms.

The lobby is quite small (for groups) but since the check in was very smooth that is ok.

When I reached my floor the first thing that appeared was a wonderful living room outside my room with large pink sofas and books covering the walls. Perfect for curling up with a book and an afternoon tea! If you are in need of even more space this living room floor can be turned into a Presidential suite with three bedrooms, 160m².

The first thought that entered my mind as I stepped into the room was “This must be how Royalty live”. On a table in the middle of the room, pink mushroom shaped candies had been placed for the sweet tooth (playing with the area’s famous landmark)

The bathroom looked like a cube which had been lifted by a crane and dropped into the room, and maybe it had. With dark small tiles this is a very cozy area, and my Risbecker factor was the faucet. Water running from the largest faucet hole I have ever seen, your very own waterfall.

After “exploring” the local Stockholm nightlife, I was very thankful that the hotel was just a few steps away and I sank gratefully into my King size bed.

 The breakfast area is located in the hotel’s well known restaurant Per Lei, a classical northern Italian kitchen and it is a very cozy area with subdued lighting, easy on bleary eyes.  The breakfast was however a typical Swedish hotel breakfast; scrambled eggs, bacon, yoghurts and cereals.

If you are looking for a private and great hotel located in one of THE best places in town, then this is the hotel you should stay at. A perfect location with a coziness that is hard to find in Scandinavian hotels.
