HTL Stockholm, a Beautiful Boutique Hotel

October 29, 2015 by Anna Keski-Kohtamäki in Travel, Sponsored

Kaunis putiikkihotelli HTL Stockholm - Suomenkielinen käännös löytyy alta.

When Hertta & I traveled to Stockholm we were first thinking of renting an Airbnb apartment but we ended up going to a hotel. We choose HTL Stockholm as I got a good blogger deal with them. It is quite new hotel in really good location on Kungsgatan. They also have a new hotel on Upplandsgatan, and two others in Oslo, Norway.

HTL Hotels focuses on the essentials. A beautiful boutique hotel like this can keep their prices down when not offering some of the services you can travel without. For example they don't have a gym but you will find the best gyms in Stockholm nearby.

There is a possibility to check-in by yourself on a selfservice counter. And you can use your smart phone as a key to enter your room. Everything is made quick and easy.

At the lobby you will find a cafe and a small shop to buy something to eat or everyday necessaries.

Rooms are modern and decorated with Scandinavian style. Everything seems to be functional. The color coral runs thru the hotel.

HTL Hotels can also compete with their tasty breakfast. It is one of the best hotel breakfasts I've had. As I do not enjoy buffet style eating I enjoyed the simplicity of this quality breakfast. They serve musli, joghurt, fresh fruit, croissants, jams, smoothies, juices and hot drinks. All the items are beautifully set and carefully selected.

Kaunis putiikkihotelli HTL Stockholm

Viimekeväisellä Tukholman-reissulla yövyimme Hertan kanssa funktionaalisessa ja skandinaavisen kauniissa HTL Stockholmissa Kungsgatanilla. Hotellista on karsittu kaikki turha poissa, joten he voivat tarjota huoneita edullisemmin kuin putiikkihotellit yleensä. HTL Stockholm kilpailee myös laadukkaalla aamiaisella. Toivovottavasti saamme tämän hotellin myös Helsinkiin.

Signature Menu at Bon Vivant

June 09, 2015 by Anna Keski-Kohtamäki in Travel, Restaurant

Bon Vivantin Signature Menu - Suomenkielinen tiivistelmä löytyy alta.

After we had spent one night in Stockholm we came back to Helsinki by Silja Serenade. On the ferry trip we had a lovely dinner with wine pairings at the Bon Vivant restaurant. Restaurant offered a six course Signature Menu by Anti Lepik & Heikki Härmä.

We really enjoyed the whole menu. My favorites were definitely razor clam, black salsify soup, elk and elderberry flower sorbet. The wines were well paired.

Dining was definitely the best way to spend the time on a ferry. We really liked the peaceful atmosphere with a sea view companied with perfect food and wine. I highly recommend you to try this.

Bon Vivantin Signature Menu

Paras tapa nauttia laivamatkasta on syödä hyvin ravintola Bon Vivantissa ja nauttia hyvistä viineistä sekä rauhalliseta tunnelmasta merinäköaloja katsellen.

Visit to Stockholm with Silja Line

May 16, 2015 by Anna Keski-Kohtamäki in Travel, Restaurant

Tukholmaan Silja Linella - Suomenkielinen tiivistelmä löytyy alta.

My friend Hertta & I needed a spring break so we traveled to Stockholm. We decided to travel by a ferry and to spend one night in a hotel in Stockholm.

I am not a big ferry traveler but this time we decided to take a ferry to Stockholm. We wanted to have a deluxe experience so we travelled with Tallink Silja.

We went to Stockholm with Silja Symphony and came back with Silja Serenade. They are both recently renovated and looking really good. On our way to Stockholm we had a Deluxe cabin with a window view to the promenade. There was a prosecco bottle to greet us. That was a lovely surprise.

We had a dinner in the new restaurant Sushi & co. The restaurant was nicely decorated, peaceful and comfortable to dine in. We enjoyed some sushi and my favorite: the nori salad. We wanted to celebrate a little so we also had a bottle of champagne. After the dinner we went to see the musical Saturday Night Fever. I didn't even know that it is possible to see a musical on the boat. We had fun observing all the people who were so excited to see the musical and most of them sang along. It was lovely to see so many people enjoying themselves. The next morning we had the breakfast at the Italian restaurant Tavolàta. It is more peaceful and nicely decorated than the Grand Buffet. I recommend to choose that if you like more peaceful atmosphere.

On our way back home we had the Deluxe cabin with a sea view. We enjoyed the view with some prosecco. Later we had the Signature Menu at the Bon Vivant restaurant. It was a lovely experience. (I'll write another post about the menu. Stay tuned.)

It was a surprisingly lovely experience. We both really enjoyed.

Tukholmaan Silja Linella

Matkustimme ystäväni Hertan kanssa Tukholmaan kuukausi sitten. Vaihtelun vuoksi halusimme matkustaa laivalla ja kokea luksus laivamatkan. Valitsimme Silja Linen. Nautimme Deluxe-hytistä upeilla maisemilla ja hyvästä ruoasta Sushi & co sekä Bon Vivant -ravintoloissa. Kävimme myös katsomassa musikaalia laivalla.
