Design boutiques and smart restaurants pepper Stockholm’s affluent residential Östermalm neighbourhood, where the impeccable townhouse hotel Ett Hem proudly stands. It lives up to its name – translating as “at home” – with 12 bedrooms that are the very definition of luxurious Nordic chic, with light grey marble bathrooms, burnished brass accents and just a splash of colour in all the right places.
Downstairs, the kitchen is an intimate affair where this homely attitude also shines through. Deliciously inventive lunch and dinner menus are whipped up each morning, according to the fresh produce the chefs can get their hands on. Or guests can help themselves to drinks and snacks, then slink off to the garden greenhouse, candlelit library or eat seated at the relaxed kitchen table itself. A Scandinavian home from home.
