Haymarket by Scandic – A Historic Stay at Hötorget, Stockholm

🌟 Haymarket by Scandic – History Meets Modern Comfort

Haymarket is not just a hotel — it’s a Stockholm landmark. The building was once the PUB department store, one of the city’s most famous shopping destinations. In the 1920s, a young Greta Garbo worked here as a shop assistant before her Hollywood career began.

Today, Haymarket by Scandic keeps that heritage alive with a glamorous Art Deco design, echoing the 1920s and 1930s style, combined with modern hotel comforts.

📍 Location: Hötorget in Central Stockholm

The hotel sits at Hötorget square, right in the heart of the city:

🎭 Royal Swedish Concert Hall (Konserthuset) is across the square.
🎬 Filmstaden Sergel cinema and Sergels Torg are just steps away.
🛍️ Department stores, boutiques, and Drottninggatan shopping street begin right outside.
🚇 Direct access to Hötorget metro station makes exploring easy.
