The King's Garden - Stockholm

Sitting within easy reach of Stockholm’s cultural sights is the characterful The King's Garden hotel. This 18th Century, boutique property features 94 elegant rooms, alongside Brasserie Makalos, where French-inspired cuisine is served beneath a glass-covered courtyard. The adjacent Crystal Bar provides an atmospheric setting for drinks, while a fully equipped gym, separate saunas and dedicated concierge service add further convenience between days spent exploring the Swedish capital.

The hotel sits beside Kungstradgarden in central Stockholm, placing many of the capital's attractions within walking distance. Step outside and wander through the royal garden, where an avenue of cherry trees bloom in April and ice skating is held during the winter months. Less than a mile south lies the picturesque old town of Gamla Stan, known for its historic, colourful buildings, cobbled streets and the Royal Palace. Be sure to stop at Stortorget, Stockholm's oldest square, framed by gabled merchant houses dating back centuries. Alternatively, head to the island of Djurgarden, around two and a half miles away, home to some of the city’s best-known cultural sights, including the Vasa Museum, Skansen and ABBA The Museum. Stockholm Arlanda Airport is 24 miles from the hotel.

The hotel takes up residence in an historic 18th Century building that’s been beautifully restored, reflecting the building’s Gustavian heritage. Although no two rooms are alike, each displays elegant furnishings, period-inspired details and soft colour palettes, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. Views extend across Stockholm's rooftops, the hotel's courtyard or neighbouring city streets. Standard facilities include a flat-screen TV, an iron and ironing board, complimentary tea and coffee making facilities, bathrobes, slippers and complimentary toiletries. Room categories range from compact Petite Chambre and Single Rooms to more spacious options for couples and families.
