Elite Hotel Adlon

Elite Hotel Adlon Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Elite Hotel Adlon on Vasagatan, you immediately get that classic Stockholm vibe — it’s polished without being stuffy, and there’s something reassuring about the way the staff actually looks up when you enter. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Stockholm‘s Norrmalm district, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. You’re literally steps away from Central Station, which I mean, if you’re arriving by train or need to catch the Arlanda Express, it doesn’t get much more practical than this.

The Perfect Stockholm Base

What really struck me about this place is how effortlessly you can explore the city from here. Gamla Stan is just a pleasant walk across the bridge, and you’ve got Drottninggatan’s shopping right at your doorstep. The thing about staying in Norrmalm is that you’re in the thick of things without the tourist chaos — locals actually use this area, which gives you a more authentic feel of Stockholm life. I noticed couples seem particularly drawn to this spot, and after spending time here, I totally get why they rate the location so highly.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in had that Scandinavian design sensibility you’d expect — clean lines, muted colors, and everything just works. The beds are genuinely comfortable (not just hotel marketing speak), and the windows actually open, which is surprisingly rare these days. You know what I appreciated? The lighting — they’ve got it figured out with multiple options, so you’re not stuck with harsh overhead lights when you want to wind down in the evening.

Breakfast Worth Waking Up For

Here’s where Elite Hotel Adlon really shines — the breakfast situation is actually impressive. They’ve got this continental spread that goes way beyond the usual sad hotel offerings, with proper vegetarian and vegan options that don’t feel like afterthoughts. The gluten-free selection surprised me too; it’s clear they’ve put thought into accommodating different dietary needs. If you’re rushing to catch an early train, they even do breakfast to go, which honestly saved me one morning when I had an early meeting across town.

Why Guests Love It

After staying here, I understand why this place consistently gets solid ratings. It’s not trying to be the flashiest hotel in Stockholm, but it delivers on the fundamentals really well. The location means you can walk to most major attractions, the staff knows the neighborhood inside and out (ask them about the best coffee spots nearby), and there’s reliable WiFi throughout. For the price point, you’re getting genuine value in a city where accommodation can get pretty expensive. It’s the kind of place where everything just works smoothly, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you’re exploring a new city.

Stockholm’s hotels wrap guests in Nordic textiles, greenhouse atriums, and concierge-led husky tours.

• Charissa from United States (9/10)

  Breakfast was best selection we've ever had at a hotel! Room was lovely, comfortable and view. Staff was always patient and helpful (and multilingual) with many questions being new to Sweden. The location was excellent – convenient to local trains, shopping, restaurants, and Arlanda Express to airport. Room was surprisingly quiet even with the many rooms on the floor.
