Birger Jarl Hotel, Stockholm

This trendy new 240-room hotel has already attracted a steady following among the city's cognoscenti, as well as with savvy visitors. The revamped hotel is the perfect example of the best of modern Scandinavian design without the harshness of too much minimalism. Birger Jarl somewhat uniquely aims to change its mood with the season by changing its decor. Individual designers have also been brought in to create idiosyncratic rooms that can be surveyed on the web before booking. Other plus points include a number of meeting rooms (one with a capacity of up to 150) and the rooftop gym with views of the city.
