The Bank Hotel, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is a historic boutique property in Stockholm’s refined Östermalm district, just steps from iconic destinations such as the Royal Dramatic Theatre, the upscale boutiques of Biblioteksgatan, the vibrant Östermalm Market Hall, the scenic Nybroviken waterfront, and the National Museum.
Set in a former 20th-century bank, the building retains its original grandeur, from the imposing bronze entry doors to preserved architectural features like marble floors, stucco accents, and decorative wall moldings. The design beautifully blends classic elegance with contemporary style, creating a space that’s both chic and intimate.
The hotel’s modern art program, the Bank Art Collection, features collaborations with local galleries. At its center is the stunning Bank Hall restaurant, highlighted by a soaring glass ceiling that fills the space with natural light.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Choose from several room types to suit your needs. Elegant Essential rooms are cozy and well-equipped with plush robes and amenities. Vault Rooms, without windows, offer a calm, timeless retreat for uninterrupted rest.
Elegant Classic rooms blend comfort and function, with a work area and lounge space. Elegant Exceptional rooms provide extra space, some with deep soaking baths. The Graceful Deluxe Signature rooms are the largest, offering added comfort and extra seating. For the ultimate stay, the Penthouse Executive Terrace Suite lets you take in sweeping views of Stockholm and beyond from its expansive full-length terrace.
DINING
The former bank lobby has been transformed into the culinary heart of the Bank Hotel. This dramatic space is home to Bonnie—named after the infamous Bonnie and Clyde—where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily. A generous buffet offers breads, fruits, cold cuts, hot dishes, and juices, while à la carte options range from eggs Benedict to French toast.
Bonnie’s dinner menu blends Scandinavian and French flavors, with standout dishes like raw or fried oysters, beef tartare, and cucumber soup. Mains include grilled sea bass, veal entrecôte, and Swedish favorites like Toast Skagen, plus vegetarian options like beetroot tartar and Pasta al Limone. Finish with crème brûlée or the playful “Smash the Piggy Bank,” best enjoyed with a cocktail.
Beyond the restaurant, The Papillon Bar offers an intimate setting inspired by the Bank Director’s office, complete with mahogany paneling. On the top floor, Le Hibou is a stylish cocktail and terrace bar with Parisian flair and stunning views. For a livelier vibe, Sophie’s brings music and drinks. Nearby, BooBook hosts private meetings or dinners, while La Cour is perfect for intimate meals for up to 16, with views of the synagogue.
