Ett HEM

I really liked the check in experience. It was casual, intimate, seamless, and just what you need when you’re tired from a trip. The interior design and the property itself are fabulous, I really enjoyed walking around and looking at their good taste in furniture, textures, design, etc. We had the seven courses dinner and it was fantastic, I really enjoyed every dish. The open kitchen concept is always good, and we got to sit at the chef’s table.

By far the best meal I have had in a very long time. The setting is beautiful. It feels like you're having dinner at a friend's house. Super cozy, tastefully decorated, chic but not over the top and exceptionally good food. Really good. The flavours, the ingredients, the presentation, just absolutely perfect! Will definitely go back and try the hotel as well.

The website is your first clue, though you won’t recognize it as such. It presents itself like the opening pages of a children’s fairy tale — soft, inviting, harmless. This is deliberate. Not malicious. It protects something too precious to reveal all at once. What waits behind that gentle façade is one of the most elegant, quirky, commanding hotels I’ve encountered. Each floor is a different chapter in a book written by someone who understands that beauty is about relationships — between color and light, furniture and space, texture and touch. The carpets, tiles, details, materials: all chosen with an eye so exquisite it borders on revelatory. Soothing, yes, and perfectly composed and soothing. Someone thought very hard about this. The restaurant centers on an old cottage kitchen, the hearth its heart. Breakfast begins with a chunk of Swedish cheese — not as garnish but as thesis statement. Then the delicious things arrive, one after another, as if abundance were simply the natural order. The staff are brilliant. Kind, knowledgeable, without the performed servility that makes you feel like a tyrant. No deflating nods, no downward glances. They’ve understood the assignment: this place inverts the hotel experience, turns it inside out. What you thought you knew about staying somewhere — they’re telling you a different story entirely. It’s a Michelin experience for every sense, not just taste. Sensorama would have been the obvious name. “Ett Hem” (a home) is far more subversive. It’s not centrally located like the Grand or Lydmar. This doesn’t matter. It outshines everything else in the city. The extra walk is necessary anyway—Stockholm’s restaurants require walking off. The bikes are free if you need them. Worth every step, every moment.
