Berns Stockholm

Posted On April 22, 2011

Adorned with the historical luxurious heritage featuring the great architecture, the Berns is the royal abode of unexplored treasures as well as inexperienced contemplation. Towering high as a celebrated palace glittering with its own elegant grandeur, this is the most admired retreat here due to its still-followed, mind-capturing traditions, entertainment, as well as services. For me, it was no less than a stunning art gallery where from the moment one steps in, she or he is bound to get indulged in the visual delights. Right from the lobby to the rooms, you are sure to gaze at the boutique hotel’s each niche. In fact, its lobby is dubbed as the living art gallery exhibiting the marveling artworks of the national as well as international artists.

From its journey of being a former restaurant to the current hotel, this 147-year-old sanctuary of legacy has always made efforts to expand its legendary glory because of which today it is the home of over 80 rooms, several conference rooms, nightclub, concert zone, and 2 excellent restaurants all under one roof in the fashionable heart of Sweden’s capital. A leisure or business traveler will surely admire the location as she or he will be living amidst the nightclubs, shops, restaurants, Royal Palace, and Gamla Stan zone all in the business area.

Rooms

There are 78 individually decorated rooms and 4 suites at the Berns each of which leaks a lush style of contemporary wood paneling. But like the case with other hotels, this one offers only few rooms with the balconies opening out to the spectacular views of the courtyard. You can expect all the standard amenities here: Egyptian-cotton sheets, hypo-allergenic bedding, AC, premium television channel(s), mini bar, pay movies, curtains, premium bedding, complimentary newspaper, hair dryer, daily housekeeping, voice mail, wake-up calls, electronic/magnetic keys, safe, cribs, satellite television service, extra towels/bedding, iron/ironing board (on request), TV, phone, desk, in-room childcare (surcharge), rollaway beds, private bathroom, wired/wireless high-speed Internet access (complimentary), designer toiletries, and opening window. No matter which you choose, all are non-smoking units.

Go for the Clock Suite if you want to enjoy the best views of the park or stay in a Junior Suite if you desire designer interiors. If a terrace garden is your choice, book the 608 room that is bright and spacious. Are you still looking for something different? Well, then you have the legendary dressing room of Ella Fitzgerald and Marlene Dietrich – Room 431.
