A trendy, adventure-inspired hotel in the centre of Stockholm with a rooftop terrace, urban farming and a focus on sustainable Nordic living. Rooms have a fresh, nature-inspired design and the hotel rents out bikes and outdoor gear.
Downtown Camper by Scandic occupies a purpose-built contemporary building on Brunkebergstorg, the same revitalised square as At Six hotel, placing it at the centre of Stockholm's urban renewal corridor in Norrmalm. T-Centralen metro is a four-minute walk, Gamla Stan is a 15-minute stroll and the hotel's position makes Södermalm, Djurgården and the museum district all accessible without a car. The concept was launched by Scandic in 2018 and draws deliberately on Scandinavian outdoor culture, translating it into an urban hotel setting.
The 494 rooms are designed with natural materials and a colour palette inspired by Swedish forests and coastlines. Several room categories include hammock chairs as standard furniture, and the hotel lends guests bikes, stand-up paddleboards and kayaking equipment for exploring Stockholm's waterways at no additional charge — a genuinely unusual offering in a city-centre hotel. Standard rooms include fast wifi and blackout curtains; family rooms accommodate four occupants comfortably. The Roof restaurant on the seventh floor is the hotel's signature dining space, serving Nordic seasonal cooking from a kitchen that uses produce grown in the hotel's own urban farm installations. A ground-floor café and bar cater to guests and neighbourhood locals throughout the day.
The urban farming elements — herbs, salad leaves and seasonal vegetables cultivated in installations on the rooftop and in public areas — are used directly in the restaurant kitchen and form part of the hotel's certified carbon-neutral operations. A fitness room is available. The outdoor equipment loan is managed through an adventure desk in the lobby, which also books guided excursions in the Stockholm archipelago. Downtown Camper suits active and outdoor-minded travellers, younger leisure guests and environmentally engaged visitors who want a central base with genuine character. Families are particularly well served by the family rooms, the outdoor activity programme and the proximity to Djurgården's parks and museums.
