The first room at Villa Dahlia is now ready, The exclusive boutique hotel will open during autumn 2024

Pressmeddelande Stockholm, 30 november 2023

Vasastan’s first exclusive boutique hotel is taking shape by Tegnérlunden, in central Stockholm, and the first guest room is now ready. The new hotel has been given the name Villa Dahlia and is a new sister hotel to Hotel Diplomat and Villa Dagmar. Villa Dahlia will open in early autumn 2024.

Architect Per Öberg has been given the assignment to complete Villa Dahlia– the Malmström/Cappelen family’s third hotel in Stockholm. Guests will be offered a lush experience during their stay, with Tegnérlunden as the closest neighbour.

“We are delighted to present Villa Dahlia’s first room and to unveil the hotel’s name, inspired by Villa Dagmar, our grandparents’ Karl and Dagmar Bergstens’ home in Båstad, which my siblings and I often visited. The delightful scents of the flower garden lingered in the late summers, making dahlias a symbol for family, love and beautiful moments to remember,” says Anna Cappelen, active partner in Hotel Diplomat, Villa Dagmar and Villa Dahlia. “Therefore, it became the natural choice of name for our third hotel.”

The new chic boutique hotel, which brings to mind Milan in the 20s and 30s, will be an evocative international meeting place for both hotel guests and local residents. The first room completed, a deluxe room, sparks a preview of the rooms’ casual elegance, carefully selected color and material choices for a first-class sleeping experience. It also gives a sense of the hotel’s overall interior and atmosphere creation, where sustainability and craftsmanship are integrated into all choices. The interior comes from smaller suppliers to ensure high quality with curated design choices by mother and daughter, Anna and Pauline Cappelen. The hotel’s atmosphere and interior evoke a cozy Italian villa feeling.

“We have an intense period ahead of us completing Villa Dahlia, and we look forward to spring when we will open for bookings,” says Sune M. Malmström, partner and principal project manager of Villa Dahlia. “Our vision is to become a new retreat and dedicated destination for both hotel guests and tourists, as well as residents in the neighbourhood and Stockholm locals.”
