Stockholm
Fourteen islands, an archipelago most visitors never reach, and a design culture that’s really about what’s left out.

Boutique hotel
Ett Hem
A converted 1910 townhouse in Lärkstaden, twelve rooms, run more like a very good host’s home than a hotel — the address recommended across all three pieces above.
