private sauna in one, a small kitchenette in another and still another which is split level
with a sitting room. The decor is slickly contemporary and there is an oasis of a courtyard
out the back, as well as a restaurant and bar.

Eating & Drinking
St Jakobs Stenugnsbageri
BAKERY
8am-6pm Mon-Fri, to 4pm Sat, to 3pm Sun)
Mouthwatering is the only way to describe the selection of stone-baked breads, knotted
cardamom rolls, melt-in-your-mouth coconut-lemon towers and crisp sugar cookies over-
flowing from the countertops and baking trays at St Jakobs. During the summer you're
likely to see an enormous bowl of strawberries at the centre of it all, served with fresh
cream, of course.
