Where should you stay in Stockholm with kids?
Family areas and hotels with family rooms, with examples from Visit Stockholm and the hotels.
Short answer
Djurgården is a popular family destination with attractions such as Skansen and Gröna Lund, according to Visit Stockholm, and some central hotels offer family rooms. Examples from the hotels' own sites are the Superior Family room at Scandic Continental and the family rooms at Clarion Hotel Sign. These are examples, not a ranking.
Why
- Visit Stockholm says many of Stockholm's most popular children's attractions are on Djurgården, within walking distance of one another.
- Visit Stockholm says Stockholm is a child-friendly city where kids are welcome in all cafés and restaurants.
- Scandic says the Superior Family room at Scandic Continental holds up to 4 guests and has a bunk bed, and lists the hotel as 0 km from Stockholm Central Station.
Details
Strawberry Hotels lists Clarion Hotel Sign's family rooms as 22 m² with a double bed or two twin beds, and a sofa and armchair can be requested. For the airport night, Swedavia says Radisson Blu Arlandia has a play area for small children. More ideas for the trip are in Scandinavia with children, and hotels are listed under hotels and resorts in Stockholm.
Tip
Check the bed setup and maximum number of guests before you book, since family rooms differ between hotels. For the cost side of a family trip, see whether Stockholm is expensive.
What may differ
Families with younger and older children may want different areas: Visit Stockholm says the city has playgrounds with different themes suited to various ages, and STF's Skeppsholmen hostel has family-friendly rooms.
Common misconception
To find a family room in Stockholm you have to stay outside the centre.
What actually happens
Scandic lists Scandic Continental, with a Superior Family room for up to 4 guests, at 0 km from Stockholm Central Station, and Strawberry Hotels places Clarion Hotel Sign, with family rooms, in central Stockholm.
