Overview

Stockholm has a rich history that you will miss if you focus only on mid-century design. This city excels at restoring Art Nouveau masterpieces, such as the Diplomat Hotel.

The Scandinavian style is simple, despite all of its frills and flourishes. It's calming to see the color scheme, which focuses on a few colors. This is good, as the hotel has been designed to offer a truly relaxing experience.

The Diplomat is not about to create a new design trend. You're in the right place for high-end catering. The hotel uses seasonal, local produce that's mostly organic and has a Mediterranean flair.

The building was first a residential palace for a rich family. Then, in 1966, it became a luxurious hotel. The building's architecture has been carefully maintained. Decorative elements and the Art Nouveau façade still create a unique atmosphere.

The hotel is owned and operated by the Malmstrom family, a fourth-generation family. This family has a deep respect for culture and art. In the hotel's public and corridor spaces, works by Swedish masters are also displayed. They create a gallery-like atmosphere that is both welcoming and curated. Moreover, on the first floor, the lounge features rotating exhibits of contemporary photographs. This keeps the hotel in touch with modern expression.
