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

Danger Österlin

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.

Johan Nilsson

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.

A lucky snorkeler watching a MASSIVE fever of Mobula Rays glide past him during a trip with @bajarawtours. The Mobula migration is in full effect right now in Baja. Every year from April to June, you can witness huge congregations of these animals along the shores of the peninsula. It's truly an incredible thing to see.

Welcome to Season 4 of The Trip That Changed Me! Our first guest of the new season is @lauriewoolever, writer, editor, public speaker, a graduate of the French Culinary Institute (now the International Culinary Center) in New York, and former assistant to @anthonybourdain, with whom she co-wrote several books.

In this episode, Laurie shares memories from Sri Lanka, where she joined Bourdain (or “Tony,” as she affectionately calls him) on a shoot for the TV show “Parts Unknown.” For Laurie, this trip was part business and part pleasure; an opportunity to explore the lush island nation with her friend and mentor while working on a story about Sri Lankan home cooking, but it was especially significant because she was newly sober. Navigating triggers and travel rituals that involved alcohol was challenging, but the experience shifted Laurie’s perspective. To her surprise, the world was bigger and better without the booze.

🎧 Link in bio to listen to an interview full of wonderful, personal anecdotes about Anthony Bourdain the traveler, plus loads of insider tips that food-obsessives will appreciate.

As the only Hindu region of the predominantly Islamic Indonesian archipelago, Bali is an island rich with festivals and spiritual rituals – many of which visitors are welcome to respectfully participate in. After rinsing yourself under the holy spring water which cascades through a series of waterspouts, you will emerge feeling cleansed in body and soul.

Known for its colorful houses built on steep cliffs overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, Positano is a small town located on the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. Some people might consider it overrated because of its popularity and high prices. However, others might argue that its beauty and charm are worth the cost and crowds. Tell us, what do you think about Positano as a summer destination?
