Discover Ruby Frida Hotel in Stockholm, with creative Scandinavian design, music inspired interiors and a rooftop Secret Garden.
Ruby Frida Stockholm


Why Stay at Ruby Frida Hotel?
In Stockholm’s lively Kungsholmen neighbourhood, Ruby Frida Hotel brings a refreshing approach to city stays, combining contemporary Scandinavian design with the creative spirit of Sweden’s celebrated music scene. Inspired by Stockholm’s Swinging Sixties, this distinctive hotel offers a relaxed and characterful base for discovering the Swedish capital.
Set within a reimagined 1960s building, the hotel’s interiors celebrate an era when Stockholm was establishing itself as an international centre for music, fashion and design. Warm wood finishes, geometric patterns, vintage inspired furnishings and carefully chosen details create a playful yet sophisticated atmosphere throughout.
With 187 rooms, Ruby Frida focuses on comfort and thoughtful design. Each room is soundproofed and features a luxurious pocket spring mattress, oversized bedding, a rainfall shower and aromatherapy toiletries. Choose from Cosy, Lovely and Wow room categories, with different layouts and sizes to suit your stay.
Music is woven into the hotel’s personality, with carefully curated playlists, Marshall speakers and electric guitars available to borrow. The inspiration comes partly from the legendary Cheiron Studios, located nearby, which helped establish Stockholm’s international reputation for producing some of the world’s most recognisable pop music.
At the heart of the hotel is Frida’s Bar, a welcoming space open around the clock for morning coffee, relaxed drinks and evening cocktails. The rooftop Secret Garden provides another inviting setting, with leafy surroundings and comfortable seating offering a peaceful escape above the city streets.
Whether you’re planning a short Stockholm city break, exploring Sweden’s creative heritage or combining the capital with a longer tailor made journey, Ruby Frida offers an individual and contemporary place to stay.

A brilliant, seamless experience matched by the holiday experience itself. Would recommend ‘Off the Map Travel’ to anyone considering booking for a Nordic experience ‘par excellence’.
My family and I traveled to Sweden to see The Northern Lights in March of 2023. From the planning process to every detail of the trip, I could not have been more pleased with our experience. Alex was exceptional to work with. His guidance on the time of year, where to stay, activities to do and how to get to and from everything was spot on. I have never used a tour company before but thought a trip of this kind would be easier with some help. I am so glad that I did. The entire week was seamless and completely stress-free, allowing us to truly enjoy Sweden and our time together as a family. I will be recommending Off The Map travel to friends and family and will certainly be using them myself again in the future.
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
Fantastic trip to Svalbard which delivered the true Arctic experience we were hoping for. The hotels were excellent and the activities – dog sledding and snowmobile expedition were lead by first class guides.
Top tip! The champagne tasting in the world’s most northerly wine cellar in the exceptional Funken Lodge is not to be missed!
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!
What an amazing trip we are having. It is incredible. Many many thanks for arranging such an incredible trip.
We – the whole family – loved the whole journey!!
The accommodations, the activities and especially the great people – thank you very much for this fantastic organisation !!!
Hello Lucy!! Kim and I had a fantastic time in Iceland! Probably one of my top 3 trips I’ve ever taken!
It was everything we asked for and you did a wonderful job coordinating it all so beautifully!!
Thank you very much and we will contact you again when we get ready to plan our trip to Norway and Lapland!
Arctic Retreat was simply magical. Graham and his team were superb. Their entire focus was on ensuring we had an outstanding experience. The accommodation, setting and food were all excellent. The team, experienced professionals, each brought their own personal touch and local nuance. It was faultless. The dog sledging trip directly from Arctic Retreat was also superb. We would return to Arctic Retreat in a heartbeat.
We have loved it so much here that we have extended our stay and will come back to Bjornfjell and stay in one of their cabins until Jan 3 then we are staying in the igloo hotel the night of the 3rd. 😊We added a few excursions this week – we did the whale trip on the RIB boat (wow!), toured the igloo hotel (which is why we decided to book the last night!) and did the reindeer sleigh at Sorrisniva. You were so right, the bonfire excursion was incredible!!It has been an absolutely amazing trip!
