An intimate and exclusive boutique hotel with the ambiance of an Italian townhouse is taking shape next to beautiful Tegnérlunden in central Stockholm, where Norrmalm and Vasastan merges together. The boutique hotel, with a planned opening in early autumn 2024, will be a sister hotel to Hotel Diplomat and Villa Dagmar.

Near the green, scenic surroundings of Tegnérlunden, the1960s building at the intersection of Teknologgatan 2 and Tegnérlunden 8 is undergoing a rebuild and transformation. Architect Per Öberg is in the midst of completing the new boutique hotel, which is expected to open its doors in early autumn 2024. The property, Barnhusväderkvarnen 22 (built in 1966), previously home to Hotell Tegnérlunden, is now being transformed into an exclusive boutique hotel designed to capture the essence of Italy, with design elements inspired by a generously proportioned Milan-inspired townhouse.

The new hotel will offer 103 guest rooms and suites, many with fantastic views of Tegnérlunden, a restaurant and cocktail bar. The hotel will also have a spa, gym, boule court and a Chambre Séparée/conference room. The hotel’s international environment and atmosphere was created by co-opener Anna Cappelen, together with her daughter Pauline Cappelen, who drew inspiration from their travels in Italy and Milan in particular. Responsible for the project management is co-owner Sune Malmström.

“We have taken the knowledge, craftsmanship, DNA and the familial touch from our other hotels and applied them in new ways – all aimed at bringing our vision of an Italian townhouse to life. It’s very exciting to be able to operate in a new, for us, part of Stockholm and we hope it will be an exciting addition to Vasastan for lodging, eating, drinking and socializing”
