About Hotel Skeppsholmen

History

Hotel Skeppsholmen occupies the 'Long Row' (Långa raden), a monumental brick barracks erected between 1699 and 1702 on Stockholm's Skeppsholmen island. The building was designed in the tradition of the great Swedish court architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger, and its bricks were salvaged from several ruined royal castles, giving the structure a genuine layer of national history.

The barracks and the island's naval buildings have been protected as listed historic monuments since 1935, ranked on Sweden's heritage '100 list' alongside the Royal Palace. In 2009 the property reopened as Hotel Skeppsholmen, a member of Design Hotels operated within the Nobis group, with 78 to 79 guest rooms.

The conversion paired the austere baroque shell with restrained Scandinavian modernism by the architecture and design studio Claesson Koivisto Rune. Rooms were named after prominent former residents of the island, and the hotel was furnished with a distinctly Swedish sense of craft.
