Housed in an old converted redbrick flour mill on the edge of Stockholm's waterfront, the Elite Hotel Marina Tower is an upscale property with 186 generously sized guest rooms and suites spread over seven floors. Some rooms offer sea views, but as the hotel is in a converted mill, the windows tend to be small and rooms can feel dark. On-site wellness facilities include a spa, pool, and a fitness center, but all cost extra. The large breakfast buffet is free, and there's an on-site a la carte restaurant and bar. The hotel's location away from the center of things may deter some travelers from staying here; those looking to be closer to the city center may prefer the Elite Hotel Arcadia instead.

Scene
Redbrick period building with modern interiors, popular with business travelers
Located on the edge of the waterfront, Elite Hotel Marina Tower occupies an impressive and imposing redbrick building that was once a flour mill. While the building's exteriors have an ornate, historic look, the interiors are modern and have a stark, businessy vibe. The reception area doesn't have the sense of arrival expected of an upscale hotel -- ceilings are low and the small windows don't let in a lot of natural light. The floors are tiled in beige, and the gold-painted reception counters are covered in shiny glass. Several big gray velvet sofas make up a seating area, and two large round sofa stools upholstered in orange leather occupy the middle of the lobby. A contemporary wall-sized painting of a street scene adorns one wall, adding an interesting and colorful accent. The hotel caters primarily to business travelers but also counts leisure travelers among its guests.
Location
Waterfront location outside the city center with views of Djurgarden Island
Located outside Stockholm city center, Elite Hotel Marina Tower has a stunning waterfront location in the Saltsjoqvarn district, with views of Djurgarden Island. The Henriksdal bus and train station is a seven-minute walk away, from where there are many buses heading to central Stockholm and other parts of the city. The hotel is just next door to the Saltsjokvarn Brygga ferry terminal, which has regular boat service to Djurgarden Island and the city center.- 18 minutes to Skansen open-air museum by ferry
Rooms
Spacious guest rooms and suites done up in an elegant but modern style
Guest rooms at Elite Hotel Marina Tower are reasonably spacious (starting at 247 square feet), and all are decorated in a chic, elegant, modern style dominated by neutral tones of white and beige that complement the attractive wood-grain furniture. Headboards are accented in olive green or bright orange against wooden frames, while the beds are covered in pearl-gray bed runners which match the wall-to-wall carpets and upholstery of the slipper chairs and sofas. Framed photographic prints decorate the walls, adding a chic, artsy touch. The hotel is an old factory building, so the windows tend to be small. Standard in-room amenities include flat-screen TVs, minibars, and electric kettles, as well as safes, irons and ironing boards, and bathrobes and slippers tucked away in the wardrobes. Beige-tiled bathrooms are generally small, and equipped with shower/tub combos, vessel sinks, toiletries, hairdryers, and magnifying mirrors.The Superior and Deluxe Rooms have views of the hotel's courtyard, while Superior and Deluxe Seaview Rooms look out on the sea. Most rooms sleep a maximum of two guests, while the Deluxe Rooms can accommodate up to three, and the Family Rooms are designed to sleep two adults and up to three children.
