Fodor's Expert Review Ett Hem

Feel free to grab a drink or snack from the fridge—at Ett Hem (meaning "a home"), guests are encouraged to act like they're at home in this restored 1910 Arts and Crafts townhouse with only 12 rooms. Both the public spaces and guest rooms boast an eclectic-elegant decor, with a mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings, pieces from the owners' private art and photography collections adorning the walls, and a palette of rich leathers, velvets, and woods. There's a crackling fire in the winter, a cozy garden in the summer, and gathering places like a bar, library, garden-view glasshouse, and a small spa with gym and sauna; meals can be taken wherever you want (you can even dine in the kitchen). Rooms vary in size, views, and some perks (like fireplaces), but all have plush beds, cocktail cabinets, walk-in rain showers, deluxe-sized Kiehls products, free Wi-Fi, and use of an iPad. The hotel is located in the Lärkstaden neighborhood on the outskirts of Östermalm, north of downtown.
