Downtown Camper is hotel chain, Scandic’s, third signature hotel. Located in one of Stockholm’s most unexplored neighbourhoods, Brunkebergstorg, it’s the ultimate basecamp for urban adventurers. But it’s Scandic’s approach to the complete travelling experience that makes Downtown Camper different.
The 494 bedroom hotel opened this autumn and reveals a completely new room category where up to 12 guests can stay together. The ‘Camper Co-Living’ concept joins bedrooms together with a communal space, offering a social hotel experience for large groups of friends or family. Alternatively, guests can choose between Cozy, Classic, Spacious or Grande rooms; alongside nine generous suites with stunning views of the city.
The hotel’s Campfire Restaurant features a welcoming open fireplace as its focal point where residents can gather to enjoy comfort food from around the world. The menu includes ingredients from the Swedish forest – following the changing seasons. And the next morning, guests will be treated to an organic-certified breakfast buffet that includes gluten and lactose free options.
Downtown Camper’s focus on wellbeing and sustainability means guests can enjoy complementary bikes, walking poles, longboards, skateboards, kayaks and sportswear during their stay. Also free of charge are regular yoga classes and inspirational lectures with subjects such as ‘Body Awareness’ and ‘Mental and Emotional Wellbeing’ and guests can even join the hotel’s hand-picked Lifestyle Concierge on a morning run! Australian, Kristian Hell, is the “Mr Know-It-All” of Stockholm and his wisdom offers unique opportunities to discover something unexpected about the city – whether a runner, or not – including hidden urban gems, outdoor city adventures and rooftop experiences.
And after an adventurous day exploring the city, guests are welcomed into The Nest – the hotel’s rooftop spa with astonishing views over Stockholm. This wellness area with sauna, gym, experience showers and a heated swimming pool gives residents the chance to relax with a freshly squeezed juice.
The hotel’s design merges a playful interior inspired by nature together with the concrete jungle of the urban surroundings. It’s designed to provide opportunity for spontaneous interaction and togetherness including a Games Room, two meeting rooms and a 25 seater ‘Nightwood’ cinema where residents can discover Downtown Talks. A program of illuminating and engaging talks that take place every Wednesday featuring topics which touch on innovation, sustainability, entrepreneurship and social responsibility.
Jacob Dahlberg, General Manager of Downtown Camper, says, “We’ve created a hotel for the curious traveler who not only wants unique experiences, but also contributes to creating them. Today, people want it all. To enjoy the tranquility of nature, and live in the city. Downtown Camper brings two worlds together”.
