Hotels in Stockholm

Prices in hotels in Stockholm go down by as much as 50% in summer and at the weekend in winter, so it is always worth checking whether a hotel has a special offer on.

The hotels below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over Skr2,500)
Moderate (Skr1,200 to Skr2,500)
Cheap (up to Skr1,200)
These prices are the lowest standard rates for a double room in winter, including sales tax. Breakfast is usually included, unless otherwise stated.

Sales tax at 12% is automatically added to the bill. Tipping of porters is common, although tipping for room service is not expected.

Berns Hotel

Berns, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2009, is one of the most exclusive places to stay in Stockholm. The 82 rooms marry modern Scandinavian design with the beauty of the building's belle époque architecture. There are fluffy white bathrobes, CD players, satellite TV and hairdryers in all rooms. The hotel's restaurants and bars have undergone a Terence Conran-aided makeover. The Clock Suite is legendary and a favourite of younger, trendier celebrities.
