Arriving into the heart of Stockholm, the short drive onto the island of Skeppsholmen takes you to an oasis amidst the city. Staying at Hotel Skeppsholmen in Stockholm is an opportunity to be footsteps from the iconic sights that make the city incredible, all the while, having a retreat to escape to. 
The summer-yellow buildings, historic and renovated beautifully, make the Hotel Skeppsholmen what it is today. The former three-hundred-year-old house has been transformed into a modern and cozy space that’s within footsteps of the Museum of Modern Art. Booking with Kiwi Collection, a curated collection of luxury hotels around the world meant an upgraded room and an early check-in to settle in (based on availability). Kiwi Collection carefully selects hotels in cities around the world, which means each stay is as special as the one before.
With views over the islands of Stockholm, the Hotel Skeppsholmen feels a world away from the crowds even though it’s a short walk into Gamla Stan. Upon entering the main building, the cozy interior and fluffy throws over leather seats are just a few of the touches of Sweden design in the hotel. The main building hosts what is the center of all food-related experiences, with a breakfast room which transforms into their lunch and dinner restaurant, Restaurant Långa Raden. The sunlight fills the room making breakfast one of the best ways to start the day in Stockholm. Fresh pastries, coffee, and a handful of other local delights are highlights of the buffet. During the summer months, the patio transforms into a garden oasis where you can lounge out on chairs and enjoy the view from the terrace.
Each of the rooms and suites is carefully designed, integrating Swedish coziness yet preserving the big open windows that pour in light. The light floors, dark furniture, and pops of color make the room feel cheerful and homey. With robes, local Byredo toiletries, and a well-stocked minibar, the room is set for all that you could need during the stay. One of the highlights and design-catching details is in the bathroom — the unique Boffi Basin (sink) that pours water over a large stone. It’s these kinds of details that set the Hotel Skeppsholmen apart. 
Hotel Skeppsholmen is a Stockholm hotel that gives you a quiet stay in the heart of the city. With an ideal location, it makes for a great place to call home while exploring the city.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
