Are you attending a concert, theatre performance, corporate event or another experience in Stockholm? Your choice of hotel can add far more to your stay than simply providing somewhere to sleep. At Berns Hotel, you stay beside Berzelii Park, close to Nybroplan and surrounded by central Stockholm’s restaurants, culture, shopping and nightlife.

Berns is also a destination in its own right. In the same building as the hotel, with its unique rooms and suites, you will find the beautiful Berns Asiatiska restaurant, the bar on the veranda, several nightclubs and some of Stockholm’s best-known historic event venues. This makes it possible to combine accommodation, dinner and evening entertainment without travelling between different parts of the city.

Why should you stay at Berns Hotel when attending an event in Stockholm?

Berns Hotel is particularly well suited to anyone who wants to stay centrally, close to both the evening’s event and the rest of Stockholm. The hotel is located beside Berzelii Park, next to Nybroplan and within walking distance of Kungsträdgården, the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Strandvägen, Biblioteksgatan and the city centre.

The location makes it easy to walk to many of Stockholm’s theatres, museums, concert halls, restaurants and event venues. When the event itself is held at Berns, the stay becomes even more convenient: after the concert, dinner or party, your hotel room is only a few steps away.

For anyone looking to turn the experience into a full weekend, the day can begin with breakfast at the hotel, continue with shopping or culture in the city, followed by dinner at Berns Asiatiska and an evening ending with a concert, cocktail or nightclub.

A guide to Berns Hotel, restaurants, bars and nightlife

Here is a guide to the different parts of the building and how they can be combined during your stay.

Berns Hotel

Berns Hotel is a boutique hotel with 81 individually designed rooms and suites. The rooms are available in several sizes and categories, ranging from smaller rooms for a short city stay to larger suites for guests who want the hotel experience to play a greater part in their trip.

The hotel is located in the heart of the city while overlooking the greenery of Berzelii Park. Some rooms and suites have balconies or views of the park and Nybroviken. The combination of a central location, historic architecture and proximity to the building’s entertainment offering makes Berns a suitable choice for both weekend breaks and event stays.

Berns Asiatiska

Berns Asiatiska is located in the historic dining room, with high ceilings, grand chandeliers and views of Berzelii Park. The restaurant was Sweden’s first Chinese restaurant in the 1940s and has since developed to include influences from several parts of Asia.

Breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner are served here. The dinner menu draws inspiration from the different flavours and traditions of Asian cuisine, with dishes from both the raw bar and the hot kitchen. This makes the restaurant a natural choice for dinner before a concert, performance or club night.

For hotel guests, the restaurant’s location means that the entire evening can begin in the same building. There is no need to arrange transport or coordinate several reservations at different addresses – from dinner, it is only a short distance to the stages, bars and hotel rooms at Berns.

Bars and cocktails

At Berns, you can begin or end the evening with a drink close to the restaurant and nightlife. Berns Asiatiska offers a cocktail menu where classic drinks meet original signatures, alongside an extensive wine list.

A cocktail before the event is ideal for gathering your group before the doors open. Afterwards, you can remain in the building instead of searching for another bar elsewhere in Stockholm.

Nightlife and concerts

Berns has a long history as a venue for concerts, parties and entertainment. Today, club nights, live music and performances by both Swedish and international DJs are arranged throughout the building’s different spaces.

The nightlife venues include LE!, LE! Cocktail, NEU and Terrassen. Opening times and scheduled events vary depending on the day of the week and the season.

For guests staying at the hotel, the nightlife becomes part of the overall experience. You can have dinner, attend a concert or club night and then end the evening in your room – all at the same address.

Ljusgården receives natural light through the building’s atrium and is a flexible venue for receptions, meetings and private events. Its contemporary atmosphere creates a contrast to the more traditional rooms at Berns.

Staying at Berns in connection with an event in one of the venues is particularly convenient for organisers, speakers, artists and guests who want to walk directly from the event to their hotel room.

Nybroplan is also a transport hub for buses and trams, while boats depart from Nybrokajen for several destinations in the Stockholm archipelago. The central location means that it is often possible to walk to the evening’s event or travel easily to other parts of the city.

Is Berns Hotel a good choice for a concert weekend?

Berns Hotel is a good choice for a concert weekend because it combines accommodation with a restaurant, bars and entertainment. When the concert takes place at Berns, you do not need to leave the building to move between dinner, the performance and your hotel room.

Even when the concert is held at another venue in central Stockholm, Berns serves as a convenient base. You stay close to several of the city’s cultural and entertainment districts while still being able to continue the evening at Berns after the event.

For a complete concert weekend, you can check in during the afternoon, enjoy an early dinner at Berns Asiatiska, head to the concert and finish the evening with a cocktail. The following morning, breakfast awaits in the same historic dining room.
