Mahalo Odengatan

Early 20th-century townhouses turned into 25 rooms and suites, with two open kitchens where guests eat as they please, a library and a summer garden.

Brunch all day, every day, built around the house pancakes, avocado benedicts and coffee.

A playground on the hilltop next to Sweden's first observatory, now a café, with a willow-lined pond and picnic lawns down below.

Rolling lawns up a hill with views over the rooftops, a playground on top with a big climbing frame, and a lower one with a play bridge, slide and pavilion.

Shrimp and porchetta sandwiches at a corner café a block from Odenplan, winner of the Gulddraken award for the city's best café.

Eleven family rooms with a sofa bed and a mini kitchen, a top-floor junior suite, and a relaxation room with a sauna that guests use for free.
