Hotels and accommodation · Stockholm

Stockholm's hotel market is growing. The competition is decided by design.

Ruby Stockholm, Thon Hotel Vasa and Sheraton are renovating for hundreds of millions of kronor. Hagastrand opens with a 2,500 m² spa. When new players with clear design identities take market share, a generic hotel is not a neutral choice — it's a step backwards. We design hotels that give guests a reason to choose you right away.

of every booking is lost to OTA commission when the hotel lacks a strong identity

The real problem

A lobby without identity is a hotel's most expensive mistake

A traveler compares your hotel on Booking.com in three seconds. If the room photo doesn’t communicate something clearly, the guest will choose the one that does. It’s not a price you lose — it’s the commission you pay for every booking that goes through an OTA instead.

No need to book directly

Direct bookings require the guest to actively choose your website over Booking. This happens when the hotel has an identity worth seeking out — not when the room looks like any other hotel.

Low ADR without clear justification

Upward price adjustments require the guest to understand why. Design communicates value faster and more convincingly than any room text.

Weak social footprint

Guests photograph and share photo-worthy rooms and lobbies. Generic interiors don’t generate organic content — and that’s marketing you don’t buy back.

Growing renovation debt

Postponing renovation is a cost, not a saving. Every year of outdated interior design costs in the form of lower occupancy and pricing below market potential.

The process

How we work

1.

The meeting

We learn about the hotel's guest profile, pricing strategy, competitors and where you want to position yourself in three years. The design follows the business logic — not the other way around.

2.

The concept

Identity, material palette, lighting and flow. We visualize the result in 3D before a single decision is made.

3.

The design

Building permit documents, technical drawings, material specifications and FF&E list. All coordinated with your technical management and existing suppliers.

4.

The delivery

Construction management with minimal downtime. Photography and content production included at opening.
