"Spacious bedrooms offer clean lines, neutral hues."

"Despite a color palette seemingly inspired by the Nordic winter (slate gray; stark white; deep brown), the latest hotel in Stockholm’s central square is far from icy." Full review

Book room 355, which overlooks the square and has a small Juliet balcony.

"Now a real hotel has opened here, and it’s knocking the competitors off the board thanks to impeccable style and service." Full review

"The hotel commandeers two mid-18th-century buildings overlooking a historic plaza, creating a wonderful contrast with the look inside." Full review

Avoid the compact Standard rooms, especially if you can afford the bump up to a Superior of Deluxe room; the latter come with separate stall showers, soaking tubs and the best views over Norrmalmstorg Square.

"From the outside, the two imposing and ornate 19th-century buildings on ritzy Norrmalmstorg that house the Nobis hotel look traditional and almost staid, promising classical opulence." Full review

"Situated in the Norrmalmstorg Square, made famous by a robbery in 1973 that gave the world the term “Stockholm Syndrome” to describe how the hostages bonded with their captors, this hotel is close to many top attractions: the 13th-century Old Town, the Royal Palace, designer stores, museums and galleries are all within easy walking distance"
