5 unusual places to sleep in Stockholm

This boutique hotel is located on one of Stockholm’s most prestigious backstreets that leads from glittering Nybroviken to Kungsträdgården. As its name indicates, the building is a former bank, as you can tell by the imposing bronze entrance doors, the glamorous bank vault and the 'smash the piggy bank’ dessert on the restaurant’s menu.

The atmosphere in this hotel is akin to being ‘backstage’ – a place where artists and performers prepare, connect, and unwind. With its stylish design, vibrant ambience, and proximity to the ABBA Museum, Cirkus and Hasselbacken’s live performances in their garden, the Backstage Hotel is your gateway to a world of enticing cultural events.

Ever fancied spending the night in prison? Probably not, but Långholmen Hotel offers just that: a really captivating experience. From the 18th century until 1974, Långholmen was the city’s prison island. Today it is a popular, verdant oasis. Sleep in stylish cells and grab a bite in the welcoming Finkan pub.

Svartsö Logi in the archipelago is the perfect place for anyone who enjoys the luxuries of hotel accommodation and the escapism and adventure of sleeping in nature. In summertime they have five furnished canvas tents with small terraces, lounge chairs and lake views. Book well ahead – this is glamping at its best!

The Winery is Sweden’s first boutique and urban winery hotel. The huge brick building is located just a short drive out of town. Here you will find in-house wine production and industrial chic hotel rooms with a warm ambience. The rooftop terrace is the perfect place to escape with an outstanding glass of wine in hand.
