Review of the day: Restaurant MATSALEN - Stockholm, Sweden

In 1873, construction began on a palatial building in the heart of Stockholm. It was built at the initiative of Dowager Queen Josephine in memory of the late King Oscar I. Various uses followed until the building was renovated and reopened in 2025 as Stockholm Stadshotell, a 32-room boutique hotel and restaurant destination. The “Stadshotell” moniker is a nod to the Swedish tradition of so naming a city’s most prominent hotel.
