Hotel Esplanade, BW Signature Collection

Perfect stay for 6 nights in Stockholm. Centrally located, charming and helpful staff, wonderful breakfast and dining room for plenty of people to sit and relax. We had a room with a balcony facing the street and waterfront. Although there was traffic noise, as expected, it was not an issue for us. With the windows closed it was very quiet. Every morning around 8 am the horses from the Royal Stables would pass by our window. What a delight. There is also a “living room” on the main floor for guests to sit and relax. I felt very much at home at this peaceful, quiet, awesome art nouveau hotel. There is also a sauna (with a shower and toilet) you can reserve for private use (free). Robes and slippers provided. Wine and beer/ soda for sale in the lobby, and a small fridge/mini bar in rooms. I would stay here again when we return to Stockholm.

Lovely, quirky hotel close to centre of Stockholm. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and we liked the free tea, coffee and biscuits in the downstairs lounge. We loved the building and the fact the hotel hadn't been over modernised..it felt authentic and the staff were friendly and helpful. The upstairs lounge had a lovely view over the water and was nicely furnished.

We arrived earlier, so our room was not ready yet. However, the upgraded room was offered at a reasonable price. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The building is exceptional: old and nice. We got the information about the history of the building. Breakfast was very good. We appreciate the possibility of having coffee or tea all day. Also, there is a possibility to buy wine at the reception. The location is perfect - on the river, near the bridge. If you like to walk, so you can easily reach the main Station - it takes about 15-20 minutes.

The overall design of the hotel is cosy and stylish. Eventhough the furniture is quite worn out, it gives a nostalgic vibe. Extra points for stylish common rooms. For ex. a drawingroom with a balcony, with the view towards the bay. The ROOM was quite cosy, almost clean (except dust on ceiling lamp, chair frame), nice little balcony with a table and chairs; BREAKFAST had a sufficient variety of choices (allthough, sadly the liver-pate' was finished by earlier eaters and there was no extra delivered), sprouts and spring-onion served in small bowls was a refreshing extra; also the cups(china)looked lovely and the candles added homey cosiness to the classy atmosphere. The possibility to have tea and coffee (and take it to yoru room) for free at any time, was perfect. LOCATION is excellent - super view, very close to the shopping-area, museums, restaurants, cafes, theatre. The young lady at the reception was very helpful and charming, also other staff members were welcoming. It was quiet and private enough for people who are looking for peace and calm.

Hotel Esplanade is a homey, cozy hotel with a beautiful view of the harbor. We have stayed there before so we know what to expect and that's why we chose it. The breakfast is also the best part of the stay, Scandinavian delicacies and strong coffee. And all day tea/coffee available in the lobby. Bonus: a sauna is also available with robes, slippers and towels.
