Clarion Hotel Sign

Clarion Hotel Sign is a large design hotel at Östra Järnvägsgatan 35 in Stockholm, Sweden, beside Stockholm Central Station and the Arlanda Express terminal. The location is among the most convenient in the city for rail and airport travel, and T-Centralen metro, Sergels torg and Drottninggatan are within a few minutes' walk. The hotel opened in 2008 in a striking contemporary building with a glass facade, and its interiors use Scandinavian design with light wood, large windows and a lively lobby. With hundreds of rooms it is one of the biggest hotels in the city, and it hosts many conferences, groups and business travellers. Rooms are offered in Standard, Superior and Suite categories, with air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout; higher floors have views over Klara and the water toward Kungsholmen. The best-known feature is a rooftop pool and sauna area, open to guests, with views across the city. The hotel also has a restaurant and a bar, and breakfast is available in a large buffet room offering Swedish and international items. A fitness area is provided, and the ground-floor bar and lounge are popular with both guests and local visitors in the evenings. Service is efficient and designed for high volumes, which suits business travellers, short-stay visitors catching trains and flights, and leisure guests who want a central base with leisure facilities. Indicative double-room rates are about SEK 1,500 to 3,000 per night. Prices are usually higher on weekdays with conferences and lower in July and on some weekends. Early booking is recommended for pre-Christmas weeks and large trade events. Arlanda Express trains reach Arlanda airport in about 18 minutes from the adjacent station.
