The reopening represents a significant milestone for Hyatt as the debut of the Unbound Collection in Scandinavia and will join the planned Grand Hansa Hotel in Helsinki, Finland and Hyatt Centric Reykjavík, Iceland.
Hyatt’s Unbound Collection demands the highest in quality, atmosphere and uniqueness, and Hôtel Reisen exceeds these expectations; it’s an historic gem which brings the spirit of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt to life in the capital of Sweden.

Hôtel Reisen is centrally located in the Old Town on Stockholm’s scenic waterfront. Dating back to the 17th century, Hotel Reisen is one of the capital city’s oldest hotels, it began as a meeting place for sea captains, merchants and sailors, and staying true to its origin the refurbished hotel pays homage to the building’s extraordinary past as a destination for travellers from all around the globe. Decorated with ornaments from centuries-past including a 350-year-old footprint in the bricks of the hotel lobby, the building offers guests the opportunity to discover the hotel’s rich history and experience a one-of-a-kind stay.
More than 850,000 British nationals visit Sweden from the UK each year, with many flocking to Stockholm for its rich cultural experiences and its leading business scene. Guests to Hotel Reisen have the city’s many museums located just a short ride away, including the refurbished National Museum boasting premier art and design and the Nobel Prize Museum. Just a short walk away, guests can revel in the grandeur of one of the largest, historic palaces in Europe, The Royal Palace, which remains the official residence of His Majesty the King of Sweden.
