Best Gay Hotels in Stockholm

If you are looking for gay friendly hotels in Stockholm, you will be spoilt for choice.

Stockholm prides itself on being ‘the Open City’. Inclusivity for everyone is deeply embedded in its culture.

As a result, you won’t find ‘exclusively’ gay hotels in Stockholm, but what you will find is that pretty much all hotels in Stockholm are 100% gay friendly – in fact the term gay friendly would probably confuse most of the hotels since it is the norm! [no_toc]

However, like always there are some hotels that stand out.

The following list of gay friendly hotels in Stockholm is a combination of those that we have personally stayed at, friends have stayed at or have been recommended by our friends at Stockholm LGBT.

Take a look below!

Top Gay Friendly Hotels in Stockholm

Hotel Rival

This is where we stayed on our visit and we loved it!

Owned by Benny from ABBA, this is a beautiful boutique hotel.

The hotel has an on-site café, bistro, several bars, and serves both a delicious buffet and a-la-carte breakfast.

We particularly loved the location, in the trendy Södermalm district, walking distance from most of the tourist attractions.

The rooms have clever little touches like a music button next to the bath to play ABBA and practical touches like USB ports either side of the bed!

Address: Hotel Rival, Mariatorget 3, 118 91 Stockholm, Sweden

Pop House Hotel

This hotel is situated away from the busy centre, on the peaceful island of Skeppsholmen.
