Elite Hotel Marina Tower, Spa & Resort

Elite Hotel Marina Tower, Spa & Resort Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Elite Hotel Marina Tower, Spa & Resort, you immediately get that “this is going to be good” feeling. The building itself is this striking tower that honestly dominates the Stockholm waterfront — and I mean that in the best possible way. You’re right on Saltsjöqvarns Kaj, which puts you directly on the water with views that’ll make you forget you’re in a city. The lobby has this modern Scandinavian vibe that feels polished without being stuffy, and the staff actually seem genuinely happy to see you arrive.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re technically in Nacka, just across the water from central Stockholm, but it doesn’t feel remote at all. The hotel runs a complimentary boat shuttle to the city center during summer months, which is honestly one of the coolest commutes you’ll ever have. When that’s not running, there’s reliable public transport, but you know what? You might not want to leave. The waterfront location means you can walk along the marina, and there’s something really peaceful about being just far enough from the city buzz while still having easy access to everything Stockholm offers.

The Room Experience

Most rooms face the water, and if you can swing it, definitely request one — the views across to Stockholm’s archipelago are spectacular. The four-star accommodations feel contemporary and comfortable, with those clean lines that Scandinavian design does so well. I particularly appreciated the blackout curtains (essential during those bright summer nights), and the bathrooms are spacious with good water pressure. The rooms aren’t huge, but they’re thoughtfully designed, and honestly, you’ll probably spend most of your time looking out the window anyway.

Spa & Dining

The spa is where this place really shines — it’s got this relaxing Nordic aesthetic with saunas, treatment rooms, and a pool area that feels like a retreat. After a day of exploring Stockholm, there’s nothing better than unwinding here. The restaurant focuses on Swedish cuisine with a modern twist, and while it’s not cheap, the quality is solid and the setting overlooking the water makes dinner feel special. Breakfast is the typical Scandinavian spread — lots of fish, good bread, and strong coffee that’ll fuel your Stockholm adventures.

Why Guests Love It

Couples consistently rate Elite Hotel Marina Tower highly, and I can see why — there’s something inherently romantic about the waterfront setting and those sunset views. The combination of feeling like you’re on a peaceful retreat while still being connected to Stockholm is pretty perfect. It’s that sweet spot where you get the tranquility of being on the water but can still easily explore Gamla Stan or hit up the museums when you want to. Plus, having a proper spa on-site means you can truly relax without having to venture out if you don’t feel like it.

Early hotels booking in Stockholm secures Lucia concerts, ice-skating nights, and aurora boat safaris.

  Friendly and efficient staff. Great interiors, clean, stylish, spacious and comfortable hotel. Amazing spa. Great view from the room. Local ferry stop right outside the hotel was very useful. Lovely tranquil location by the water with a view of the main city area and wooded areas across the water. The windows could be opened and fresh air let in which is increasingly rare in hotels! Room service was good quality. Breakfast was fantastic.
