Stockholm's most celebrated boutique hotel occupies a 1910 arts-and-crafts townhouse in the exclusive Östermalm neighbourhood. Just 12 rooms designed to feel like a private home — a living room with open fire, a kitchen you can help yourself from at midnight, a garden greenhouse. It is what every boutique hotel aspires to be.
