Hobo Hotel
Background
Hobo is a boutique design hotel in Stockholm’s city centre. The hotel collaborates with prominent artists, musicians and designers to create a free-spirited environment for the urban traveller. In addition to its 200 guest rooms, the hotel also features two floors of food and drink, a stage and a pop-up space. The interiors were designed by highly acclaimed architecture firm Studio Aisslinger.
Approach
Of Stockholm’s 150+ hotels, not one meaningfully connects today’s creative-minded traveler to the dynamic life and trends that the city is known for. Most hotels attempt to appeal to travelers by unnaturally emulating other city hotels like those of New York and London. The true Stockholmer’s hotel is long overdue.
Not having to look far, inspiration was sought right from our backyard.* A hotel brand experience was created that digs out and celebrates beloved spots, music, design and other things of local interest. The result is a unique and homegrown community that unlocks Stockholm to the curious visitor.
* The Hobo mark takes its letterforms from beloved Stockholm structures – Kaknästornet, Slussen, Sergels torg and Hötorgsskrapan.
