See previous glowing reviews. But some thoughts: Thanks especially to Alice and Anna who were always gracious, kind, thoughtful. Per our request because my husband wanted steak, Anna booked AG for us (was very good). I think she directed us to Babette first night? So good, I found myself there 3 times over 10 days. Every morning I faced this conundrum of where to take breakfast, oh the many seating options between two houses/patios. Hard to convey how casually decadent each setting was and hard to pick a favorite, but I'll lean al fresco being the CA girl that I am. One fun and homey option is to eat in the gorgeous kitchens whilst cooks prep your meal. Staff are the stars of the show, we can't thank them enough. And their uniforms are a vibe. An eye-opening moment and one where I think EH really excels: I was due to switch rooms mid-stay and the breakfast attendant mentioned my room change as he took my order. Whaa?? How did he know I was changing rooms? Maybe this doesn't sound remarkable (it was to me as I had some anxiety around it) but how do they have time to note details for each guest? The staff is a walking front desk. They know everything. Once I inquired about laundry as I was passing a male attendant on the stairs. He told me he had just delivered it to my room. No need to mention my room # either! Finesse. Anything you require for the day can be discussed with the staff from the comfort of your chair. Lovely that Alice checked in one morning over breakfast, friendly but not intrusive. Ok sorry, I get excited about service. Location: the fact that Engelbrekt Church is moments away is worth the cost of staying here. She is a beauty and I marveled at her on every departure/return. Many dining, coffee, shopping options within 7-15 min. walk. Vasa, Royal Palace (don't miss changing of guard 12:15), boat tours are less than 40 min walk. Walking suited us since we barely used the gym during our long stay. I had high hopes but the gym wasn’t a priority, well-equipped as it was. Fun to see the city and discover shops like Zara Home and H&M Home along the way. I think public transport is close by? But we loved venturing out on foot. It seems as if you always end up in a green and glorious park too. Also found Uber to be very prompt (however if you book in advance, it doubles the cost I think). If you are concerned about location, perhaps book closer to main attractions and finish your vacation with 2, 3 or 9 nights at EH. You'll be glad to have exhausted all the sites, it’s hard to tear oneself away after check-in. At least plan for 2 nights. This hotel is not to be missed if you're obsessed with design and service. Very few hotels can do both. Carolyn deftly caught an error (my fault) in our initial booking and adjusted dates. Pre-arrival communication was excellent and gave us confidence that we chose the right hotel. She kindly booked car service from the airport and really extended herself to ensure comfort during our stay. Loved
