Music lovers might particularly appreciate the Pop Hotel’s shared entrance with the Abba Museum, or the fact that one of its owners is former band member Bjorn Ulvaeus. Opened in 2013, the hotel’s 49 rooms, brightly decorated with accents of purple and lime green, are filled with light thanks to panoramic sliding windows. Guests are offered a choice between twin, queen or king-sized beds, which along with linens and toiletries are locally made by eco-friendly Swedish companies.
All rooms are equipped with amenities such as bathrobes, hairdryers, 42-inch flat-screen TVs and safes (large enough to fit a laptop), as well as a terrace. There’s also a small gym and an elegant restaurant. Only a five-minute tram ride from downtown, the hotel is located right by Gröna Lund amusement park, the Swedish Music Hall of Fame and Skansen, one of the world’s oldest museums.
