Bank Hotel, Stockholm - Full-Time Travel

Bank Hotel

Stockholm, Sweden
In a Nutshell:

If you had to drop a pin in the perfect Stockholm location, the Bank Hotel might just be it. The 1910 site of the Södra Sverige Banking Company is now a modern, meticulously designed boutique hotel. Despite having only 115 rooms, The Bank Hotel is equipped with a rooftop bar, trendy restaurant, and speakeasy-style cocktail lounge called Sophie’s. The hotel is steps away from the main ferry area (ideal if you want to take a trip to the Archipelago), shopping area and the royal palace.

EDITOR'S TIP: Book a tour at the Fotografiska, the biggest photography museum in the world.

 
The Style:  Elegance with a fashion-forward edge
 
Perfect For:
City break EUROPE Romantic Break weekend getaway
Why We Love It:
  • This hotel is like stepping into a beautifully curated Instagram feed. The design, restaurants, food, and cocktails are all beautiful. The hotel is owned by one of the most popular nightlife businesses in Stockholm, so it has a well-honed ambiance.
  • The rooftop terrace bar, Le Hibuo, is inspired by a Parisian suite. Great place to start your evening in Stockholm. 
  • We can’t stress this enough: the hotel is in the perfect spot. You can walk 100 meters in either direction and find great places to explore. Case in point: Riche, the classic Swedish restaurant with the best meatballs in town, is 45 seconds away.
The Unmissable Experience:

Jump on a boat (Stromma is a safe and reliable line) and explore the Stockholm Archipelago. There are over 30,000 small islands within two hours of the city, so you can make it a half-day, full-day or weekend trip. If you are into sailing, check out the small island of Sandhamn.

Some of our favorite historic properties—including the delcoronado in San Diego—are said to be haunted by the ghosts of guests past. In the case of the Del, the spirit of Kate Morgan, who checked into the iconic resort in 1892, is believed to have never left. (Though with some of the best beachfront access anywhere in California, we can’t say we blame her for wanting to stay at the property forever.) Tell us, would you stay at a haunted hotel?

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: biking is one of the best ways to explore destinations both new and familiar. 🚴🏽‍♀️ And viceroyhotels seems to agree. The hotel group has just launched a selection of curated routes out of its hotels in Santa Monica, Chicago, Washington D.C., and the Algarve, Portugal, with cycling brand Rapha. Designed for serious bikers and leisurely riders alike, each guided route is designed to get lost in the hidden corners of each destination and connect with local communities in a way you can’t on four wheels.

You’ve heard of Michelin Stars, but what about Michelin Keys? Earlier this month, Michelin awarded its second-ever group of Keys to outstanding hotels and resorts in over 100 countries across every continent (save Antarctica). Included on the list with a top three-Key designation is South Africa’s stunning royalmalewane — which debuted the new Masiya’s Camp, pictured here, earlier this year.

Check the link in our bio for the full list of newly keyed properties…and while you’re there, sign up for our newsletter: more bucket-list worthy hotel recommendations are coming your way later this week.

Calling all audiophiles. 🎧 Checking into the new Darsena Listening Suite at ilsereno in Lake Como needs to be on your bucket list. It’s outfitted with heritage-grade analog equipment, including horn speakers, tube amps, a turntable, a vintage reel-to-reel deck, and a vinyl library 500+ records deep—oh, and stunning views of the lake from an oversized private terrace, of course.
