At Six for 2 nights
At Six for 2 nights
This gleaming art and design hotel has breathed new life into the Brutalist architecture of Brunkebergstorg Square. Sleek bedrooms, a huge event space, a listening lounge, a cocktail bar and a light-filled, contemporary restaurant form the backdrop for an impressive collection of modern art.
Centrally located; this square was part of a government initiative in the Seventies to replace the Belle Époque architecture of the city with Brutalist modernity. It has gone through various chapters from business district (the hotel was previously a bank) to, of late, a no-go area. The arrival of At Six and its neighbouring hotel and restaurants have totally refashioned the area to make it a hip, dynamic part of Stockholm, near good shopping streets and the royal castle.
London-based Universal Design Studio was tasked with 'humanising' the Brutalist building, creating a contemporary version of a metropolitan grand hotel. With materials such as blackened steel, fine timber and polished granite, an art collection curated by Sune Nordgren (including the At Six signature piece 'Mar Whispering' a vast, carved, marble head in the middle of the grand lobby staircase by Jaume Plensa) and furniture and lighting by leading designers, At Six is an impressively sleek, warmly welcoming, lifestyle hotel.
The main restaurant under Chef Andreas Askling, serves appetisers such as soya-cured salmon with yuzu mayonnaise, cucumber, apple and coriander or roasted beetroots with goat yoghurt, lavender and sweet and sour seeds. For main courses expect, Vietnamese chicken dumplings, spice-blackened char or torched haddock. The At Six Cocktail Bar offers signature drinks such as Tipsy Tea and punch bowls. Downstairs there is a Blanche & Hierta wine bar with wine board games and over 300 wines to choose from. Breakfast is a buffet with scrambled eggs, herrings, smoked salmon, hams, vegetable falafels, homemade muesli and homemade rye breads.
Your room: Superior
Your rooms are elegant with wooden floors, marble desks, a corner bar and luxurious linens. Limestone bathrooms come with a shower or tub and c/o Gerd organic amenities made in Swedish Lapland.
The stylish lounge area is set within a fumigated oak clad window bay. Lean back and enjoy a cocktail from the bar corner’s drink cabinet. Plus a view over the fashionable square Brunkebergstorg.
