Columbus Hotel - Stockholm

A charming hotel in an attractive heritage listed building dating back to 1780 and centrally situated in one of the most popular areas of Stockholm. The hotel is located within a picturesque courtyard and many rooms enjoy views of the courtyard while others the church. The surrounding area is renowned for an array of food, culture and shopping. During the 2000 remodelling, the wide exposed beams, polished hardwood floors and antique furniture have been retained which ensure that the historical ambience of the hotel’s elegant past remains. Enjoy some wine tasting in the cellar below the 18th century vaults!

The brewer Lorenz Sifvert had this beautiful listed building erected in 1780 as a brewery and living quarters for workers and since then it has been the headquarters for the city guard and later, during the cholera epidemic in 1834 the barracks were transformed into a temporary hospital with rooms for 239 patients. Since 1976 this beautiful building has been the site of Columbus Hotel and has retained a flavour of its elegant past blended with the standards now expected in the best hotels. The hotel is centrally situated in Stockholm on Södermalm, one of Stockholm’s most beautiful and attractive areas. Just a few blocks from the busy Götgatan, Columbus is an oasis of calm in the busy urban streets of Södermalm. A large, tranquil inner courtyard contributes to the ambience. The rooms have wide exposed beams, polished hardwood floors, antique furniture, and bright wallpaper and fabrics. Many look out over the courtyard, others the nearby church. In summer breakfast is served outside. This hotel provides peace and quiet even though it's close to all the action.

The local area, affectionately known as, SoFo offers a wide selection of pubs, restaurants, theatres, cafés and small boutiques. Access to Stockholm's Archipelago and the city centre is easily at hand.
