Nobis Hotel occupies a pair of historic buildings on Norrmalmstorg, one of the most central squares in Stockholm, and has been one of the city's leading design hotels since it opened. It is a member of Design Hotels, and the look combines the original architecture, with its generous proportions, with a calm, contemporary Scandinavian interior of natural materials and soft colours. The location is the main reason to choose it: Berzelii Park and the Kungsträdgården are almost on the doorstep, the Nationalmuseum and the ferry quay at Strömkajen are a short walk away, the main shopping streets of Norrmalm are all around, and Gamla Stan lies across the bridge. Rooms vary in size, from compact doubles to larger suites, and the quietest are those facing the courtyard or the upper floors. A restaurant and a bar bring local life into the building in the evening, so the hotel feels like part of the neighbourhood rather than a place apart. It suits couples, business travellers and anyone who wants a polished, central base from which to walk to most of the city.
Location
Norrmalmstorg sits in the heart of Norrmalm, and from the door you can walk to the Royal Palace and Gamla Stan in about fifteen minutes, to the Hallwyl Museum in two, to the Kungsträdgården and its metro station in five and to Central Station in about fifteen. The Arlanda Express and the main metro hub are both an easy walk. Boats for the archipelago leave from the quay at Strömkajen close by, so a day trip to Vaxholm starts almost at the front door.
Living in it
Request a room on an upper floor or facing the courtyard for the quietest night, and ask about breakfast, which is often a highlight in a hotel of this style. The restaurant and bar are popular with locals, which gives the lobby a pleasant buzz at the end of the day. Rates are in the upper mid-range for Stockholm and rise in summer and around Nobel Week in early December, with better prices in late winter and early spring.
Who it suits
First-time visitors who want to walk everywhere, couples on a city break, shoppers and design lovers. If you would rather have water views and a spa, consider the Grand Hôtel on the nearby waterfront, and if you want calm over convenience, Hotel Skeppsholmen on its island is the alternative. The staff are used to helping visitors plan their days, so ask at the desk about boat times, museum tickets and the best nearby places for fika.
