Sigtunastiftelsen Hotell & Konferens

På genomresa Rent, bra service och fin frukost!

Sigtunastiftelsen is a highly unique place: a gathering point for art, humanities, science, religion and music. Originally from 1915 it is still active. The foundation is financially supported by conference activities - so both the hotel and the restaurant is a vital part of survival. The restaurant provides all guests (conference members and "walk-ins") with an ample set of food and drinks during the day: breakfast, coffee, lunch, coffee, dinner. A small bar is also at hand and open generously. See my separate review of the restaurant under "Sigtunastiftelsens restaurang". Since the whole complex consists of several buildings, finding your way around may be a bit confusing at first. Stairs and corridors seems to go everywhere and nowhere. But this is part of the charm: t's far from a modern "box hotel". Lovely public areas where you can relax and being a "place of worship" there is also a small church/chapel adjoining the bar area (!). There is no luxury, but fine standard and lots and lots of charm and "personality". Rooms are simply furnished in an old days style. Beds quite ok. Bathrooms newly renovated to a high standard - complete with floor heating. No AC and no TV (but a radio is at hand). Wifi works fine throughout the buildings. Only problem I/we encountered was the effect of the ongoing energy crisis: very cold everywhere. Our conference room held 18.5 degrees celsius. Likewise in my room. In my opinion way too cold for long hours of conferencing. Staff is kind and helpful when needed. Being a bit off-road Sigtunastiftelsen provides "peace and calm". But is at the same time easy to reach since it is near the Stockholm airport Arlanda and an hour drive from Stockholm city. Sigtunastiftelsen is very well worth visiting!

ancien monastère, au calme, à deux pas de la ville, vue sur le lac, très confortable, très bon accueil, restaurant sur place et un beau buffet de petit-déjeuner. Un peu plus cher qu'un hôtel classique mais ça reste encore raisonnable et ça les vaut !
