Checking-In: Ett Hem, Stockholm

‘Welcome home’ is the first thing you’ll hear when you arrive at the sister brick townhomes boutique hotel Ett Hem. Set back in the leafy, posh neighborhood Lärkstaden, the property makes you feel that you’ve turned the noise down of the city and came to visit a local friend’s chic home, who just so happens to be an incredible interior designer & art dealer.

Once a standalone townhome, Ett Hem opened the second in 2022, adjoined by the garden and navigating through a brick arch and wooden gate, and the two intertwine in the best way. You can dine and kick back in either. During the tour, the host said we can eat at ‘at home’ where we’d like.

An Escape within a City

This is paired best after spending a few nights in the main part of the city At Six, then retreat for several nights in your chic home.

If you need a vacation from the vacation, this is the vibe. No wonder it consistently tops the Condé Nast Traveler lists and the like. The service is just right and thoughtful details down to the windowsills.

Welcome Home

Each living space offers a honor system self-serve bar. You can kick back in every well-designed nook and enjoy the peaceful nature of the space.

Design & Ambiance

Renowned designer Ilse Crawford has transformed Ett Hem into a haven of understated elegance. The interiors blend vintage Scandinavian furnishings with contemporary touches, creating spaces that are both stylish and inviting. Each of the 22 rooms and suites is uniquely decorated, featuring thoughtful details like curated books, fresh flowers, and artisanal textiles. Communal areas, including a library, conservatory, and a lush garden, encourage guests to relax and socialize in a homely atmosphere.

Delightful Dining

Ett Hem's culinary offerings are as personalized as its accommodations. Guests can choose to dine in various settings, from the communal kitchen table to the serene garden. The chefs craft daily menus based on seasonal ingredients and guest preferences, often engaging diners in the cooking process. This interactive approach turns meals into memorable experiences, fostering a sense of community among guests.

Make plans around staying in Ett Hem. It’s worth staying a few nights to truly experience and unwind! Reach out to me if you want to book this hotel, a full trip around Scandinavia or Sweden.

Aptly named Ett Hem, which stands for ‘a home’ in Swedish. It’s where to stay when visiting Stockholm.
