Hotel Miss Clara by Nobis is a beautiful boutique hotel housed in a historic 1910 Art Nouveau building. Located on Sveavägen in the heart of Stockholm, the structure originally served as the Ateneum girls’ school. It is named after the school’s legendary headmistress, Clara Strömberg, whose presence is still felt in the building’s elegant curves and dignified architecture.
Renowned Swedish architect Gert Wingårdh led the transformation of the property into a hotel, masterfully blending the building’s scholarly past with modern Scandinavian minimalism. You can still see original features like the sweeping main staircase, arched windows, and herringbone parquet floors. The design uses high-quality materials like limestone, oak, and natural leather, creating a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that feels both timeless and fresh.
The guest rooms are particularly impressive, featuring large, church-like windows that flood the spaces with natural light. The interior design avoids clutter, opting for a restrained color palette of greys and browns that highlights the architectural beauty. Guests also have access to a 24-hour gym and a classic Swedish sauna, offering a quiet escape from the city’s pace.
Its central location makes it an ideal spot for sightseeing. You are just a short walk from major attractions like the bustling Sergels Torg square and the historic Old Town (Gamla Stan). Nearby, you can easily explore the Strindberg Museum or enjoy a stroll through the beautiful Kungsträdgården park, making it a perfect base for soaking in Stockholm’s culture.
Expert reviews
“Miss Clara is a boutique hotel that opened last April in a handsome Art Nouveau building from 1910 that was formerly a private girls’ school. Though the name is a tribute to a one-time headmistress, Clara Stromberg, there’s nothing schoolmarmish about this stylish 92-room property.”
“More tasteful than quirky, with room floors and walls in darker wood and stone than you would expect from Nordic design, balanced by subtle ways of leading natural light into nooks and crannies such as bathrooms.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Stockholm.
“This grand Art Nouveau building was once a girls’ school, and is now a stylish hotel, named after former headmistress Clara Strömberg. The rooms are tastefully decorated and locals and visitors alike love the bar and restaurant for its great atmosphere.”

Great base to explore the city
Beautifully designed, spacious and comfortable room in a historic building. Huge bathroom with a bathtub and a large shower, very nice! Nice area, it felt safe and calm, yet not too far from the shopping street, restaurants and bars. It is about 20min walk to the old town, but there is a pizzeria on the premises, and couple of busy bars a block away.
Excellent breakfast, great selection and quality! Cured salmon and cheese board was incredible, as well as great coffee and pastries.
Mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities in the room would be great.

Beautiful hotel, great location, we’ll be back!
We loved how friendly and helpful the staff were, the design of the room (well curated) and the quality of the amenities. The location was walking distance to the shopping area and also 1 block from a subway. Breakfast was fantastic!
The only thing I was left wanting was a coffee maker in the room so that I could have one first thing without going to the lobby.

Charming and cozy hotel with great vibes, which with a bit more amenities will be even more perfect
People I interacted at the counter were always very kind and supportive. The pizza restaurant was absolutely exceptional and this is coming from an Italian. Loved the charming decor of the rooms: I was assigned a corner room, and I loved the wooden floors (huge point for someone that absolutely hates carpet floorings of hotels), and size was absolutely comfortable. Breakfast was also really nice and qualitative, I just wished it was a bit clearer from waiters how it worked with coffee ordering, especially for an Italian that will only initiate the day with at least 3 espressos at breakfast.
I do understand their point on sustainability for amenities in the room, but for a 4 star hotel with premium vibe (indeed they offer some 5 stars services like 24h room service), I would have expected at least a kettle in the room, as first thing I want when I wake up and go to sleep is coffee/tea/chamomile. I don't mind bringing my own, but would be great to have the bare minimum to be self sufficient.

Cool place to stay in a great location
Location was excellent - a few minutes from the centre and easy to navigate to places further afield. Breakfast was excellent - it was included which was nice; it set the day up well. Hotel had a lovely feel to it - understated and comfortable with itself.
I'd have wished for a slightly bigger room if I'm honest.

Lovely boutique hotel provides a home away from home.
From start to finish, staying at Miss Clara was a great experience. The service was consistently excellent from the front desk, to the restaurant and the cleaning staff. The interior is beautifully appointed, comfortable and welcoming. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom had very nice toiletries. Did not experience any noise or disruptions. Breakfast buffet was of high quality with lots of choice. Location was very convenient. I would recommend without hesitation.
Small improvements - extra lock for the door, better hairdryer

Hot weather visit to Stockholm
Breakfast was lovely and a great way to start the day.
Air conditioning was appreciated as the weather in Stockholm was hot when we were there.
We received great assistance from a young man at the front desk in finding restaurants and making reservations. It was the weekend of the Stockholm Marathon and everything was booked up.
The room was very small. We were there on a weekend and there was lots of noise from the streets. We were able to shut our windows and use air conditioning which helped.

A GEM in Stockholm!
The front desk team ( Diana and Daniel and the rest of the team) were incredibly helpful and kind. The room was really clean and you can tell that cleanliness is taken seriously at the hotel. The location was perfect too since it's close to the main sights.
Breakfast was fresh and had several options. Thanks to the kitchen team for accommodating special dietary requests.
We will definitely come back to Miss Clara for our next trip to Stockholm.
