Hotel Esplanade

Hotel Esplanade in Stockholm is a boutique waterfront cache on Strandvägen, offering Art Nouveau–style rooms with free WiFi and access to a charming public lounge. Guests praise its historic ambiance, spacious common areas, varied breakfast, and exceptionally friendly staff. Rooms range from charming courtyard views to harbor-facing balconies, though some are small, without elevators, and some bathrooms feel dated. Location is repeatedly highlighted as unbeatable for walking to Gamla Stan, Djurgården, and major sights, with 24/7 coffee/tea and snacks in the lounge. Overall, it’s a characterful, well-located stay with great value for those who love old-world charm and attentive service.
