The Scandic Sjofarthotellet is located in Sodermalm, which is
perhaps Stockholm's liveliest area, with a vibrant mixture of restaurants,
pubs, and shopping facilities, local inhabitants and cultural events,
all within walking distance of Gamla Stan (the Old Town). There
is a breathtaking view from Fjallgatan, and the Djurgarden ferries
are close by. In spite of its central position, the hotel is located
in a quiet area, around 200 metres from the lively local thoroughfares.
The entire hotel was refurbished in 1998, trying to recreate the
maritime atmosphere of the area. The warm colours, the brass and
the cherry and oak wood create a delightful, genuine atmosphere
suited to the reception the Hotel gives its guests.
The Scandic Sjofartshotellet offers 206 guest rooms, and the range
includes combos, twin and double rooms, comfort rooms, and a suite.
All rooms have a TV, telephone and hair dryer and most are equipped
with an iron and trouser press. The reception has a safe deposit
box, is manned 24 hours a day and is always at your service. |
The restaurant Kajutan serves breakfast in the morning and offers
an a la carte menu in the evening, which includes traditional dishes
and Swedish home cooking with culinary influences from all over
the world. In the lobby, you can relax at the Coffee Shop/Bar, the
hotel's central meeting place. They serve both hot and cold drinks,
fresh pastries, and buns, delicious sandwiches, and much, much more.
So sit down, read the paper, have a Cappuccino or a glass of wine
and enjoy your stay at the hotel!
On the top of the building, on the 7th floor, you can go out on
the terrace and enjoy the view over Gamla Stan (the Old Town), Djurgarden
and Saltsjon. This is one of Stockholm's best viewing points, and
events can be arranged for up to 80 people. The hotel has a sauna
which can be used by all guests free of charge, and if you want
to work out, there is a gym close by. If you enjoy jogging, Riddarfjarden
Runt (Round Riddarfjarden) is an event which requires a certain
amount of fitness but allows you to see Stockholm at its best.
Staying at the hotel sometimes involves work as well as pleasure.
The Hotel has excellent conference facilities with three large conference
rooms and five group rooms. The lounge is known as Parlan (the Pearl
Room), and can be used as a banqueting area or for minor trade fairs
or conferences.
The Hotel will look after your guests arranging food and refreshments
both during the day and in the evening, as required. A conference
host is available throughout the day, who will help you make all
your arrangements regarding special equipment and service requirements. |
