Hotel Hellsten
HOTEL
1490; ; Rådmansgatan)
Hip Hellsten is owned by anthropologist Per Hellsten, whose touch is evident in the rooms
and common areas, which are furnished and decorated with objects from his travels and
life, including Congan tribal masks and his grandmother's chandelier. Rooms are su-
premely comfortable and individually styled, with themes ranging from rustic Swedish to
Indian exotica; some even feature original tile stoves.
The sleek bathrooms sport phones and hand-cut Greek slate. Hotel extras include a
sauna and a small fitness room, as well as live jazz in the lounge on Thursday evening.
And the location is especially great for adventurous foodies.
Hotel Hansson
HOTEL
design s/d from Skr995/1195; ; Rådmansgatan)
This friendly, family-run boutique hotel is in a quiet but vibrant part of town and is loaded
with atmosphere. The standard rooms are basic and spacious, with all the trimmings; a step
up are the design rooms, with intense wallpaper, sumptuous fabrics and chandeliers.
There's a beautiful lounge area and a fabulous breakfast buffet.
Nordic 'C' Hotel
HOTEL

A fantastic deal if you time it right and book ahead, this sister hotel to the slightly more
upmarket Nordic Light has smallish but sleek rooms, great service and a cool lobby lounge
area with an impressive 9000L aquarium in the foyer. The cheapest rooms are windowless
and very tiny but efficiently designed and totally comfortable.
One of the two hotel bars is the famous
Absolut Icebar
, newly redesigned and expanded.
