HELLSTENS GLASHUS, Stockholm

Hellstens Glashus integrates a stunning glass facade with the building's historical architecture. The on-site restaurant sits on what the hotel claims is Stockholm's oldest floor, formed millions of years ago. The bar area uses the same stone floor, creating a distinct interior that pairs with the glass exterior.

The restaurant serves international cuisine rooted in Nordic and exotic flavors, with outdoor terrace seating during summer. The hotel bar hosts live music performances featuring local artists on weekend evenings. Guests can order wine, champagne, or snacks at the bar while enjoying the entertainment.

Breakfast includes a wide selection with vegan options, Swedish pancakes, and meatballs, served until 11:00 on weekends. Free coffee and tea are available to guests throughout the day in the lobby. The hotel provides 24-hour front desk service, luggage storage, and laundry facilities.

The hotel sits in the artistic Södermalm district, with Mariatorget metro station directly across the street. Gamla Stan (Stockholm's Old Town) is a 15-minute walk away, and the Vasa Museum is a short metro ride. ABBA The Museum is also within easy reach of the hotel's central location.

The hotel offers a wide variety of room types, from small single rooms (23 ft2) to superior doubles with high ceilings and balconies. Some rooms feature large windows or exposed beams, and all have tiled bathrooms with glass wash basins. Standard rooms come with a flat-screen TV and work desk.
