Meet Karin & Ardy from the Netherlands - some of our favorite regulars. With at least 17 visits so far, they’ve truly become part of the history of Hellstens Malmgård.
What began with a love for ABBA has grown into a lasting connection with Sweden, and with Stockholm especially. They discovered Hellstens Malmgård by chance after some last-minute change of plans, and it has thankfully become a place they return to again and again.
They’ve built their own traditions along the way: walking from Hornstull up Brännkyrkagatan, watching the hotel come into view, and enjoying long, relaxed mornings in the breakfast room. They’ve never stayed in the same room twice, instead choosing to discover different parts of the hotel each time.
Through every season, they’ve explored the city and found some favorite spots - from the views at Skinnarviksberget to art and culture at Fotografiska, Millesgården, and Liljevalchs, as well as meals at Vapiano and Hermans.
In their words, Hellstens Malmgård feels like coming home, which is the best feedback we can hope for. We look forward to welcoming them back for many years to come ✨
On the final image, Karin beautifully captures the feeling of Hellstens Malmgård in a poem inspired by their visits.
