Architecture & Design

The building we are proud to call the Miss Clara Hotel today was originally designed by the Swedish architectural firm Hagström & Ekman. In 1910, this impressive structure was completed, intended at the time to house one of Sweden’s largest institutions for women’s education: Ateneum.

A house with exciting possibilities

Of course, a lot has happened over the past 100 years, and the interior design you see throughout our hotel today was created in collaboration with the world-renowned and multi-award-winning architect Gert Wingårdh.

Sustainable materials, intuitive and clear design features, and a commitment to preserving the building’s potential and period character were key priorities when we, together with Gert and his architectural firm, created our charming and exclusive boutique hotel

Interaction with our urban surroundings

One of the biggest advantages of locating our hotel at Sveavägen 48 is its close proximity to the heart of Stockholm. Gert Wingårdh recognized the great potential in this early on and initially sketched out a floor plan where the ground floor embraces the street’s urban environment, allowing the reception, bar, and restaurant to exist in beautiful harmony with the hustle and bustle of Sveavägen. Virtually all of the interior design on the ground floor is custom-designed for the rooms, where the choice of materials is dominated primarily by limestone and leather.

Our Rooms

The hotel rooms begin one floor up. The hotel has a total of 92 rooms.
The hotel rooms are well-designed and intimate. They feature beautiful, warm dark wood floors laid in a herringbone pattern. The same wood frames the room’s walls with a continuous wainscoting that winds its way through all areas of the room—through the bathroom, hallway, and bedroom—and eventually ends in a window seat along the facade. The window seat includes a mini-fridge, safety deposit box, nightstand, and storage, and also offers a charming seating option in the window niche.

In hotel rooms where possible, the toilet and bathroom are separate. In general, we have sought to bring natural light into all shower and bathroom areas through frosted glass surfaces, which creates a sense of spaciousness and beauty in these tile- and marble-clad rooms. All furnishings here are custom-designed, with the exception of the fixtures.

Modern functionality incorporated into timeless design

Gert Wingård has consistently succeeded in creating a warm and personal atmosphere, without compromising on either functionality or our hotel’s urban boutique profile. Together with a design approach focused on solid and aesthetically timeless natural materials such as stone, wood, glass, and leather, we have laid the design foundation to ensure that Miss Clara remains one of Stockholm’s most attractive hotels for many years to come.
