Art Hotels
Three hotels where the reason to book is the building and what is in it. Two are conversions of historic blocks, one is a small hotel whose interiors were designed as a single piece of work. In each case the public rooms carry more of the character than the bedrooms do.

Nobis Hotel Stockholm
Nobis occupies two nineteenth-century palazzi on Norrmalmstorg, joined behind a single façade and reworked by the Swedish studio Claesson Koivisto Rune. The most quoted room in the building is not a bedroom at all but the atrium: a tall, top-lit courtyard that the conversion turned into the hotel's living room, ringed by galleries and furnished as a lounge. Bedrooms are deliberately restrained — pale oak, grey stone, low-slung Scandinavian furniture — so that the art and the architecture carry the interest rather than the decoration.
Hotel Sanders
A hotel behind the Royal Danish Theatre, in a building that has taken guests since the 1870s. Lind + Almond's interiors run warm rather than minimal — rattan, brass, dark wood — and the ground floor is a set of small rooms instead of one lobby.
Casa Fuster
A modernista block of 1911 by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, standing at the top of the Passeig de Gràcia and converted to a hotel in the early 2000s. The marble-columned Café Vienés, the stonework and the roof terrace survived the conversion intact.
Hotels where the collection, the commission or the building itself is the reason to stay.

An index, not an agency
cricketspro.com is an independent editorial index of hotels. We hold no inventory, take no bookings and earn nothing from a stay. Every property listed here is described as a building first: what it is, where it stands, and what a night in it actually involves.
