Ett HEM

Ett hem was part of the reason that we came to Stockholm!! We were very excited to come stay here as we have heard such great things from friends. The whole concept is that it’s a home, and it really did feel like that! It felt as though we were staying at a friends home, where we can roam around all of the shared areas and spend time anywhere, in the living room, lounges, library, garden etc. The space was designed by a famous interior designer. Our room was an attic room that was quite beautiful. We also opted to have dinner at the house; the menu changes daily depending on what the chef orders in, and on our night it was delicious. We also used their spa room / sauna which was very enjoyable. My only comment is that while the staff were all very friendly and nice, they were not always available to be found. At times I would need something and go to the main check in counter and there wouldn’t be anyone there, and I would have to roam around the house looking for someone. Same goes for the entrance. You have to ring the bell every time you come back to Ett Hem and on a few occasions, no one answered the door bell or they answered but didn’t follow up / open the door / or come to get us. I understand it’s a part of the casual home feel, but for a luxury hotel I would have preferred a little more availability… Great stay overall though!!

This is a hotel that truly lives up to its reputation.Staying at Ett Hem has been on my travel bucket list for almost 10 years. It simultaneously feels like your wealthy Swedish aunt has given you the keys to the house and liquor cabinet but left the staff as well as living experiential essay defining Swedish luxury. The interiors are designed by Else Crawford and no corner is untouched. The design finished are not just meat to look high end, they are with authentic Svensk Tenn and Georg Jensen pieces throughout the hotel and rooms. Meals are homemade and taste like they were made with love from a talented family member. The sauna facilities are spacious, private and the highlight of the trip on a cold Swedish winter night.

Unlike any hotel I’ve experienced. Such a beautiful hotel with such lovely, friendly and accommodating staff. Every last thing has been thought of, with the rooms having everything from a skincare routine to eye masks and a running map of the local area. It feels so homely, which is exactly the concept - lovely!
