One of Stockholm's flagship design hotels, the Birger Jarl is a constant work-in-progress. Many of the rooms are 'design suites' renovated by some of Stockholm's top designers; there's a Svenskt Tenn room with Josef Frank-inspired wallpaper, for example.A stay here doubles as a crash course in current Swedish design trends. Its overall style reflects its origin in the '70s, but each year the hotel brings in new Swedish designers to add or adjust an element of its interior decor. Even the 'standard' rooms are nicely in keeping with the prevailing sleek, modern Scandinavian aesthetic. Whichever room you end up in, it's worth asking if there are others open that you can peek into. Beyond the design elements, the hotel has top-notch service and all the comforts you'd expect, as well as a great location in between Östermalm and Vasastaden.
