Being a Guest in Someone’s Home

Many Stockholmers and visitors remember the first Lydmar Hotel, located at hip Stureplan in Stockholm. It used to be the hot spot for the young, urban crowd and a unique boutique hotel with it’s avant-garde art exhibitions, jazz and rock performances. That was until the hotel closed in 2006. A couple of years later, in October 2008, the man behind the success, Per Lydmar, has reopened Lydmar Hotel in a new location. New Lydmar is located between the legendary Grand Hôtel and the National Museum of Art, with water views of the Royal Castle in the old town, the bridges and streams of ‘Strömmen’ and Nybroviken. The hotel has 46 rooms, all with individual interior design and decorated with the aim to make the guest feel like entering a private home. This is the theme also for the combined restaurant and bar. New Lydmar is not hip and noisy as the first hotel restaurant, rather more mature and cosy. The restaurant offers a warm, relaxed and ‘feel-at-home’ living room atmosphere. There is no traditional bar counter and the furniture is a mix of old Chesterfield leather sofas and groups of comfortable chairs. Book shelves are filled with old books, stacks of magazines, vinyl records and wine bottles. Family photographs, personal memories and board games strengthen the perception of being a guest in someone’s home. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers international dishes in a modest price range.
