DC Paper - Summer 2024

Think about how much we have, yet we long for something different. We love feeling safe yet yearn for new challenges. We raise our living standards, still we long for the fundamental, the basic. We want to live in the city but every now and then, nature calls us back. We want to be spontaneous; to be able to pack only the most essential, put on our backpacks - and just leave. We want to improvise and create, seize the day, adjust to the wind and weather, discover new paths in the forrest, new streets in the city. We are not only professional or private - we are both, all of the time. We are the generation of diverse, curious and exploring ’bon vivants’.

To us, luxury is never about the surface. It’s about encounters, contrasts, experiences and inspiration. It’s having the opportunity to gather around the campfire instead of the TV, to hear new stories, get new impressions, or for just one moment find ourselves out of reach, offline, offgrid. Luxury to us is doing something good for other people, and to feel good about ourselves, from the inside. So, put on your backpack and a pair of shoes that works for both an expedition into the unknown and for the party tonight. Let us show you where the adventure begins – right here in the heart of the city.

The Scent of Summer

Discover the flavours of comfort food from all over the world in Campfire Grill & Bar, the green, good and tasty from Downtown Camper Café, and magic brews and cocktails along with astonishing views in The Nest. From dawn to dusk - there’s a new taste experience to be had at Downtown Camper.

Campfire Grill & Bar

Downtown Camper’s main restaurant is where we gather around the open fire to share experiences, stories and to enjoy good food while meeting new and old friends. It’s the hotel’s heart and social hub, serving up an eclectic abundance of comfort food from all corners of the world.

The meal as a ”social ritual” is the real focal point here, and in the kitchen we create exciting dishes close to our hearts. Inspired by childhood memories, travelling, and the shifting seasons, we call our food concept ”comfort food” as it puts a smile on your face and spreads joy, love and comfort.

At Campfire, we use the elemental force of fire and extract the flavours of the flames. Here, the fire is crackling together with the sound of good conversations, laughter and music.

Campfire is an open, cosy and warm meeting place for both Stockholmers and hotel guests, bringing back an including, spontaneous and honest social code. Our grilled concept is a big flirt with the food truck trend, a conviction that good food is all about enhancing simple and natural flavours. Meals you can share with your friends and family, talk about, taste from each other’s plates, and simply enjoy together.

Psst. There’s also...

The Nest Cocktail Lounge

When it’s ”cocktail o’clock” - take a hike up to visit Downtown Camper’s pride and joy, the rooftop bar that sits on top of the building. A friendly, laid-back ambience, great music, and well-made, bespoke cocktails await you here.

The Nest offers astonishing views of the city and tasty drinks created with much care and attention to detail. With a focus on sustainability and innovation, the creative bar team uses seasonal ingredients in their own homemade syrups and infusions to differentiate the taste experience and offer guests something truly unique. As pioneers of the low-ABV trend in mixology, The Nest also offers an impressing list of low-alcohol / non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails for the guest who wishes to go easy on the liquor. Whether you’re an Old Fashioned, a Shirley Temple or something less decided, there’s something here to tease your taste buds. Food options range from classic bar snacks and charcuteries to camper-style pizzas.

With its personal style, earthy tones and mile-wide views, The Nest is a hidden gem in the heart of the city, a hide-away for the knackered explorer, and a second livingroom for many locals. To go here, hop in the lift and press ”9”. It will take you straight up to cocktail heaven.

Downtown Camper Café is a social hotspot to add to your list. As usual at Downtown Camper, sustainability, wellbeing, and togetherness are important focal points and the offering has been carefully selected accordingly. Filled to the brim with goodies, the menu is largely plant-based and vegetarian, with nutritious, healthy, and beautiful food that encourages an all-together sustainable lifestyle. Even the furniture and utensils have been hand picked and are made of recycled or rescued materials. Just the way we like it.

Located on one of Stockholm’s most happening walking streets, Drottninggatan, the café is a perfect pitstop on your city expedition, offering everything from all-day breakfast and tasty lunch grub to coffee, awesome ice cream, locally produced beer, biodynamic wines, and organic soft drinks.

Downtown Camper Café is a given hangout for the local coworking community and travellers that come from near and far. Get there by taking the lifts to floor -2, or do the walk around the corner outside.

A tuna taco on the terrace perhaps?

Campfire takes it outside - with comfort food from all corners of the world and street food treats from the charcoal grill.

Meet: The Nest Signature Cocktail!

COCKTAIL / MOCKTAIL

Sveavägen Coupette

175 Hendrick’s Flora Adora, Beefeater Pink Strawberry, lemon, hibiscus, egg white

Sveavägen is a 2500 meters (8202 ft) long street in central Stockholm. It starts at Sergels Torg and stretches all the way to the Haga Park in the north. It is known for being one of the busiest roads in Sweden, and also where former Prime Minister Olof Palme was assassinated on 28 February 1986.

Mälarhöjden Mocktail 92 Watermelon, lemon tonic, lime, grapefruit

Mälarhöjden is a residential area south-west of Stockholm, dominated by lake-side villas. In the 1700s, you might have been able to catch a ride to the local inn “Klubben” with singer/songwriter Bellman in his boat. But today, you can easily get there by metro.

OUR TOP PICKS

Every day there’s something new to explore here at Downtown Camper - check out all activities on the opposite page. Here are two of our personal favourites.

Kayaking

Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays

Explore the city from a different angle. Let’s go for a scenic tour around the stunning island of Långholmen. Sounds like something that floats your boat? Come join.

Stockholm was built on islands, so we figured what better way to explore the city than from the surface of the water? This activity was such a huge success last year, so naturally we decided to do a rerun this summer. Långholmen offers a lot to explore - the old prison, the lovely wooden boats, the view, beaches, picnic spots. It’s a gem and one of our favourite spots, so rest assured - this experience will stay with you.

The best things in life are enjoyed with friends, and that’s what make this activity a winner. Come alone or with a loved one, but you will always have company with our amazing camper guides. But be careful! If you’re too close you might get a free lecture in random Stockholm trivia.

For all levels. Kids welcome in parent’s company. 3 hour event (including the bike trip to and from Långholmen), 150 sek per person, no refunds. Dress accordingly, and bring an extra jumper / sweater.

We want to know you’re coming! Sign up before 17.00 on the day before by emailing lifestyleconcierge@scandichotels.com. Have any questions? Contact the reception or the staff at our Lifestyle Desk in the lobby.

Swim n’ Run

Mondays at 09.00

Spending summer in the city requires the right approach. Keep your head cool - let’s go for a Swim n’ Run!

We’ve decided not to run in circles anymore and now we’re taking aim at one of Stockholm’s many beaches, the one in Rålambshovsparken. Join the DC crew on a fun city run and cool off in the blue waters by Kungsholmen. The Swim n’ Run activity takes you on one of the most scenic routes of the city and with our dedicated runners, you’re in good company.

In summer, our capital springs to life with lush greenery scattered in between the ocra-coloured buildings and quaint bridges. Although Downtown Camper is located in one of the most urban areas of the city, nature is never far away.

We have selected our favourite running route for this activity, and the destination is one of Stockholm’s most popular beaches, in Rålambshovsparken. Just plunge in and cool off!

The pace will be adapted to fit the group, so whether you’re looking for a quiet jog or a high-pace sprint, that’s what we’ll do. The run is about 5 km.

You don’t have to sign up in advance to attend this event - come down to the lobby when it’s time, and remember to dress accordingly. Let’s go!

OR, JUST GO PLOGGING

Start your day like a hero - this is a proper boost of confidence. Grab a Plogga bag from the lifestyle desk in the lobby, and go for a treasure hunt. Try to pick as much rubbish from the streets as you can fit into your bag. When your bag is full, bring it back to the hotel and hand it in: You can now claim an awesome reward: A DC tote bag filled with beautiful body care products from our own line Downtown Mist. Happy hunting, and nature says thanks.

This is a collaboration with @Plogga.

Summer in the City

There’s no doubt, Stockholm is one of the better cities to spend summer in. Built on 14 islands, the city offers a hard-to-beat blend between urban and natural exploring. Cool off by the beach after mingling with the hip crowd at Nytorget, dine at a Michelin star restaurant after discovering the wilderness on Djurgården. It’s all here waiting for you, so here are our best tips and tricks for you to conquer the city.

Stay warm / cool off Sweden is fickle. It can be 35 degrees and blistering sun – or 5 degrees and raining cats and dogs. To manage expectations, Swedes have a saying: ”Det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder”, which roughly translates to ”there’s no bad weather, only bad clothes”. So if you want to be on the safe side, pack your entire wardrobe before travelling here. Alternatively, if you’re less fussy, just bring a warm jumper or rain jacket, even if the weather is nice when you head out. Should it (against all odds) be a hot day, we mean the kind of hot day where you want to throw yourself into the nearest puddle, it’s not hard to find a place to cool off. The beaches come in various shapes and sizes, from cliffs and rocks to white, sandy beaches perfect for the family. But keep it classy (despite what you might have heard about Swedes), it’s best to wear a swimsuit, and don’t forget the sunscreen.

Watering holes

Like on all expeditions, it’s essential to stay hydrated. So fill up your thermos with tap water (we have some of the best water in the world) before heading out. Plan a few pitstops along your way - Stockholm has plenty of nice bars with terraces along the water or floating pontoons where you can have a snack and a drink whilst enjoying the beautiful locals, ahem, scenery. And be patient. If it’s a sunny day, you might have to wait in line. Swedes seem to double in numbers when the sun comes out, and they all have the same thing in mind - a “uteservering” (outdoor seating). So much for originality, huh.

Shelter

Uh-oh, here comes the rain. As you might have gathered, we’re not guaranteed good weather all summer long. So like a scout, be prepared – there’s nothing worse than flat hair and dripping clothes when you’re doing the city. Luckily, there are great places to visit even for those inevitable “cats and dogs” days: Shopping malls, cafés, art galleries – or if you’re really ambushed by the rain – the nearest tree. Stockholm offers plenty of shelter. Or why not take the opportunity to discover Stockholm’s underground? The tube here is famous for its art that stretches from the suburbs to the Central Station. It’s known as the longest art exhibition in the world.

Get around

Public transport will take you anywhere you want to go - buses, trains, trams, underground or even boats. Just look for your nearest SL sign. If public transport doesn’t float your boat, then why not grab a bike from the hotel and head out along the many cycle paths that cover the city. Every day around 100 000 Stockholmers get on their bikes to go from A to B, and in rush traffic, they move fast. Fastest of them all is the bike couriers and “mamils” (middle-aged men in lycra), and in places like Götgatsbacken, you’ll need to watch your back; they take no prisoners. No bike-riding skills? Grab an electric scooter, roll down the street on a skateboard or take the tube.

Escape the city

Yes, Stockholm offers numerous green areas –inside and outside “tullarna”. If you feel adventurous, head outside the city and explore one of the many national parks/nature reserves, for example Tyresta, Hellasgården or Bogesundslandet. Nature is never far and it’s easy to get around if you have read through the previous part in this guide. You can go anywhere really, the freedom to roam, or ”Allemansrätten”, is the public’s right to access certain public and privately-owned land for recreation - but remember not to disturb, litter or destroy.

Ice cream for the people!

It wouldn’t be summer without copius amounts of ice cream and the great thing is that Stockholm has plenty. In the hotel, in the kiosk on the corner, or the more hip-hop ice cream gelaterias. Our favourites are: Stockholms Glasshus, Snö, Gelateria Amore and StikkiNikki to name a few. Ice cream is never far away when you’re in Stockholm. We also have an abundance of great flavours, from the classic chocolate and strawberry to the more acquired tastes like, yikes, garlic and asparagus. Too many choices giving you brain freeze - you can’t go wrong with vanilla.

What’s SUP

Fancy a unique view of the city while getting a great bit of exercise. SUP board paddling is growing in popularity in Stockholm and there are plenty of places to try it. Paddle along the waters of Kungsholmen or the quieter stretches of Långholmen, or try out the more hip region of Tanto in Södermalm or further afield on Sicklasjön. If you’re super supple, you can even impress the locals with a few yoga moves on your board, but watch out for the boats and the inevitable gust of wind knocking you off the back of the board though - and be sure you style it out.

Time for sleep

You’ve had your fun, now it’s time to sleep. If you want to go camping in the summer, as many Swedes do, prepare for a chilly night followed by a sweaty morning under the scorching morning sun. By all means, do not be discouraged - all we’re saying is that camping in Sweden is not for everyone. If you’re reading this article, you have probably already excluded the camping bit from your trip, and so you can relax: Downtown Camper is the only basecamp you need. In Sweden, when the sun is up for most of the day and night, you really can’t put a price on black-out curtains, let us tell you. And it just so happens that you have picked a hotel with perfect ones.

Urban Retreat

The Nest is no ordinary retreat. It has been designed to boost you with a very modern approach to wellbeing - no hushing, no pointing fingers, no fuss. This is a place where you can be yourself and kick back on your own terms while admiring the city from above.

Aching limbs after a day of exploring the city? Take the lift to the top and discover The Nest: An urban retreat and a must-see for all guests.

Leave behind the distractions of digital screens and busy traffic, embrace the vibe and discover a whole new take on wellness. Step into the sauna, shaped like a bird’s nest. Lather up in the experience showers, then head outside to the pool for a cold drink and some serious chill. Soon you will be ready for another day.

Back to basics

The ”spa world” can feel a bit intimidating to many of us: “Do this, do that, and keep your voice down”. Basically, very far from how most of us want to retreat, right? The Nest offers a fresh approach to wellness. The guiding thought behind the concept is to encourage a sustainable lifestyle - one that you can keep up with.

Today, we live in a digital world where we deal with loads of unnatural stress factors that affect our health and the way we socialise with others.

People start to become aware of the importance of taking better care of themselves; to minimise screen time and focus on the meaningful relationships in life. The Nest offers an including, laid-back and utterly stand-alone experience - a new generation of wellness.

Do it yourself

There are no traditional spa treatments in The Nest. Instead, the offering has been shaped to encompass sustainability, education and long-term wellbeing. Hence, the focus on DIY

treatments, where the idea is to equip you with the know-how to best take care of yourself and your skin - a knowledge that can be applied and used long after you leave the hotel.

It only gets better with time Another important thing to remember is that the tempo in The Nest will increase throughout the day. Visit early if you are looking for some peace and quiet. The music plays softer, and there are fewer people in the retreat. As the evening approaches, the music shifts to an ambient pool club vibe as the adjacent cocktail lounge opens. It’s the perfect time and place for an aperitif in the company of good friends.

House Rules

Welcome to The Nest - a place for new experiences and inspiration. Togetherness, wellbeing and fun is our focus here and hence, we encourage a mobile-free environment. You are not allowed to talk on your phone, but if you want to take a picture as a memory to keep from your visit, you are more than welcome. Discover flavours from around the world on our drinks menu, meet new and old friends, and enjoy great music to magical views from the top of Downtown Camper. Children are amazing, but up here, they are not our primary focus - we have other spaces in the hotel where kids can be kids. This is a place for adults to socialise and regain energy.

How to book

As a hotel guest, you always have priority in The Nest. Don’t forget to pre-book your visit by contacting the front desk or booking online at boka. se/thenestwellness. Towels, bathrobes and slippers are provided.

Young adults from 16 and up are welcome to visit The Nest.

Welcome to the Great Indoors

Downtown Camper is the ultimate basecamp to absorb Stockholm. A hotel for locals, travellers, and urban explorers. Experience Stockholm like never before – we will connect you with our community of local friends and partners. This is where the adventure begins.

Campfire Grill & Bar

In Campfire, we gather around the fire to share experiences, stories and enjoy good food while meeting new and old friends. We create exciting dishes close to our hearts, and call our cuisine “comfort food from every corner of the world”. Here, we use the elemental force of fire and extract the flavours of the flames, and the fire is crackling together with the sound of good conversation, laughter, and music.

The Nest

On the rooftop of Downtown Camper, far above the vibrant pulse of the city and with an astonishing view over Stockholm, is The Nest. Enjoy the peace in the sauna and the refreshing water in the rooftop pool in the wellness area. All guests aged 16 and older are welcome to visit. Discover

Downtown Camper Café

Behind the hotel, in one of Stockholm’s most happening walking streets, Drottninggatan, you will find our café. As usual at Downtown Camper, we are all about sustainability, wellbeing, and togetherness, and the offering has been carefully selected accordingly. Discover an array of gorgeous food on the menu. Pop by for some people watching over a rich cup of coffee, a freshlysqueezed juice, or something more filling.

Camper Co-Living

We travel in new constellations; with extended family, friends and colleagues. We like our privacy but love shared areas where we can socialise, work and eat together. With Camper Co-Living, we have adapted our rooms to fit the way you travel: We connect bedrooms to each side of the social areas in the main suite so that 6 - 12 people can live together the way they prefer.

Creative Spaces

New spaces feed new ideas. That was the guiding thought when we developed our Creative Spaces where you can meet, brainstorm, team build, and workshop in environments that make it easier for the mind to think freely and creatively. Perhaps through a film screening in the movie theatre, Nightwood, or a get-together in Cocoon, a cosy space perfect for the small meeting or a private dinner. The playful Game Room will help you find new solutions to old challenges. For the larger group, Roots offers 1300 sqm of multi-flexible events space for all kinds of fun.

DC Podcast Studio

This is where we share ideas, thoughts, opinions, and experiences, with each other and the world. Equipped with the latest recording gear, it’s 100% easy-to-use and hassle-free. The studio itself is sound-proofed but located in the vibrant environment by Campfire’s bar - which makes it perfect for recordings in front of a live audience.
