OUR STORY
EXPERIENCE THE CHARM OF A 1731 LANDMARK HOTEL IN STOCKHOLM
Clas på Hörnet, located at the corner of Surbrunnsgatan and Birger Jarlsgatan in Vasastan, is one of Stockholm’s oldest and most iconic taverns, with a history dating back to 1731. The timeless name, ‘Clas på Hörnet,’ has been preserved across centuries.
The property has long been a gathering place for people from all walks of life, including artists like Bellman, writers, politicians, everyday Stockholmers, and even royals. In the 18th century, it was even a ballroom. Over the years, the tavern has evolved into a beloved meeting spot, keeping its historical charm while embracing the vibrancy of modern Stockholm. This long history makes Clas på Hörnet a living record of the city’s past.
Just next to our hotel is Monica Zetterlund Park, a tribute to Sweden’s legendary jazz singer who once lived nearby on Sveavägen. In the 1980s, the park was named Clas på Hörnet after our historic inn, and in 2005 it was renamed in her honour. In summer, her music fills the park, and after sunset her profile glows in the light fixtures, a charming tribute right outside our doorstep.
Until February 2025, the hotel was an exclusive retreat for guests only, but now, the public are welcomed to enjoy Clas på Hörnet's restaurant Bastardo, a lively dining spot marrying Italian flavours with traditional Swedish cuisine.
Clas på Hörnet was recognized by Vogue in February 2025 as one of Stockholm’s eight best boutique hotels, praised for its rich history, thoughtful restoration, and unique combination of 18th-century charm and contemporary comfort. Vogue described Clas på Hörnet as more than just a hotel – a true destination offering historic charm and home-away-from-home comforts.
In December 2025, Condé Nast Traveller featured us as one of Stockholm’s nicest hotels, recognising our excellent value for money. They describe us as “The beauty here lies in excellent hospitality and simple, yet rather lovely rooms.”
