Esplanade Hotel

This informal hotel, where the only meal served is breakfast, lies immediately adjacent to the more expensive and more richly accessorized Diplomat. Respectable and discreet, it attracts representatives from the neighboring embassies and others who like its comfortable charm and traditional atmosphere. Constructed as part of the same beaux-arts architectural complex -- at the time, a boarding house -- as the Diplomat in 1910, it was transformed into a hotel in 1954, occupying two floors of a six-story building, the remainder of which are devoted to offices. Many of the rooms are furnished in old-fashioned style. Single rooms are minuscule. Most doubles have double-glazed windows, extra-long beds, and well-kept, decent-size tile bathrooms. Four rooms open onto a view of the water, and the high-ceilinged lounge features a balcony with a view of Djurgården.
