Scene
Quiet, cozy, laid-back ambience in posh Ostermalm
Clarion Collection Hotel Wellington is located on a residential street in the affluent neighborhood of Ostermalm. Constructed as a private residence in 1938, the six-story building, with Juliet balconies, became a hotel in 1967. The large, ground-floor shopfront windows are remnants of its past life as a bakery, and later, a shop that sold gloves. Other relics of its past include the old-fashioned elevator and narrow staircase. The hotel has added a separate wing, which is located in an apartment block around the corner. While modern -- with dropped ceilings, pendant lighting, and a pale-wood reception counter and matching shelving unit separating the spaces -- the hotel's public areas exude a homey coziness too. Colorful sofas, high-back black velour chairs, stuffed armchairs, and warm-colored Oriental rugs encourage guests to gather. The terrace, where guests can sip their coffee or drinks as they peruse the newspapers, is another spot to linger. This small hotel draws guests from across the spectrum -- couples, families, solo and business travelers and groups of friends -- but is best suited to those seeking a quiet setting, a respite from the bustle of the central city.
