Michelin Guide
"Spacious bedrooms offer clean lines, neutral hues."
Travel + Leisure
"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.
Condé Nast Traveler
"Now a real hotel has opened here, and it’s knocking the competitors off the board thanks to impeccable style and service." Full review
Star Service
"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.
BlackBook
"The gorgeous Nobis Hotel, a member of the eminently slick Design Hotels group, favors elegance over extravagance."
Frommer's
"Come for the lounge, stay for the...lounge. Seriously, you could spend an entire afternoon in one of the four "living rooms"." Full review
The Telegraph
8.0
"This urban luxury hotel – grand on the outside; quintessentially Nordic minimalist on the inside – lies in glitzy Östermalm district’s most coveted square." Full review
Oyster
Upscale
"This upscale, centrally-situated property is housed in historic, 19th century buildings." Full review
Afar Magazine
"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
Independent
"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"

Enjoy the Thursday night jazz sessions.
Rough Guide
"Dating from 1898, the original bourgeois family apartments in this building have been lovingly restored."
EuroCheapo
"Located around the corner from the Rådmansgatan metro station and the busy Sveavägen boulevard, the four-star Hellsten is a splurge-worthy stunner with unique décor." Full review

If you visit on a Thursday night, be sure to catch the live jazz in the bar.
Frommer's
"The mood and décor is less icy Scandinavian and more hot-blooded African and Asian...78 rooms are individually kitted out—all romantic, personal, odd, and lovely, with jewel-toned walls" Full review

"Hip Hellsten is owned by anthropologist Per Hellsten, whose slick slumber number features objects from his travels and life." Full review
Michelin Guide
"Rooms that mix bold colors with heavy antique woodwork and an assortment of interesting objects. It’s the sort of place that feels curated, rather than designed" Full review
