Setting

Upscale Östermalm

The multi-talented Malmström family, owners of eclectic city retreat Villa Dagmar in super-smart Ӧstermalm, wanted the hotel to channel the spirit of their well-travelled, sociable and art-loving matriarch, Dagmar Bergsten. Beneath its fantastical glass roof, you’ll find contemporary pieces by Susan Szatmáry, Salon, a courtyard restaurant run by Daniel Höglander and Niclas Jönsson, a curated concept store, Dagmar Spirit & Retreat wellness spa and a secret entrance to food haven Ӧstermalms Saluhall (conveniently right next door) for the best Swedish delicacies. This bowl-you-over bolthole takes after its trailblazing namesake.

Our Favourite Rooms

Maybe our favourite features are the spa-like ensuite bathrooms – each is marble-clad and has toasty heated floors. We’re partial to the Deluxe Balcony room with its free-standing bath tub and – you guessed it – a private balcony overlooking either the inner courtyard or the Ostermalm rooftops.

Spa

At Dagmar Spirit and Retreat, you'll find two treatment rooms, a detoxifying sauna and a steam room. The fully-equipped fitness centre is the place for quick workouts, group yoga classes and punishing personal training sessions.

Top Table

Try to bag a table ‘outside’ (under the glass roof), which sports an enchanted orangery vibe.

Dress Code

You won’t feel out of place in your finest at the restaurant, but anything goes at laidback Dagges.

Hotel Restaurant

Daniel Höglander and Niclas Jönsson, owners of Stockholm’s award-winning Aloë are the brains behind the all-day restaurant Salon at Villa Dagmar. For the Mediterranean fusion menu with a seafood focus, they’ve drawn influences from southern France and Italy as well as the Middle East and North Africa. Dagges is the bistro-cum-wine-bar, serving small dishes and appetizers to pair with wines as well as artisanal treats to take home. In the summer months, Dagges opens its terrace doors and the tables spill out onto Nybrogatan.

Hotel Bar

There’s a feeling of being on the Amalfi Coast at the chic marble bar under a white awning in the ground floor’s open-plan atrium. Pull up a white bar stool and try a classic cocktail or take your pick from the tome-like wine list of European vintages.

Last Orders

Breakfast is 7am–10am (7.30am–11am at weekends, when brunch is also available 12.30pm–3pm); lunch is 11.30am–2pm, and dinner is 5pm–11pm (till midnight Thursday to Saturday).

Room Service

From 11.30am to 10pm, the room service menu features salads, sandwiches, pizzas and desserts. From 10pm to 6.30am, you’re limited to just two (delicious) types of pizza.

Planes

Flights touch down at Stockholm’s very efficient Arlanda airport. The easiest way to get to the city centre is via the Arlanda Express which takes just 20 minutes. The hotel is on a pedestrianised road, so access to the hotel can be limited, Vila Dagmar can organise private car transfers (for an additional cost), which are best for the smoothest journey.

Trains

Stockholm’s Central Station, serving all major Swedish cities (Gothenberg, Malmö and Kalmar) as well as Copenhagen, is only two kilometres away. The closest Metro station to the hotel is Ӧstermalmstorg.

Automobiles

You won’t need a car in walkable Stockholm, but if you do drive, there’s valet parking available for an additional cost.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Your first order of business is to use the hotel’s secret entrance and immerse yourself in the sights, smells and sounds of Ӧstermalm Saluhall, one of the most famous food markets in the world – it’s full of restaurants as well as vendors selling a wide variety of fresh Swedish specialties and a sight in its own right, too, having occupied this spired brick building since 1888. Once you’ve fortified yourself with plates of Swedish meatballs and cucumber salad, take the scenic walk along the water to Sodermalm to find Fotografiska, the city’s contemporary photography center, where past shows have been devoted to Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton and Andres Serrano (and the top floor café has one of the finest views in Stockholm). On your way back to the hotel, stop in at Svenskt Tenn on Strandvagen, the city’s colourful interior design destination that’s been going strong since 1924. And Smiths of all ages will love the Vasamuseet which houses the restored royal warship Vasa decorated with over 700 ornate figures and ornaments – it sank in Stockholm harbour on its maiden voyage in the 17th century and was painstakingly dragged up from the seabed in the early 1960s.
