Hasselbacken, hotel in Stockholm
Hasselbacken is a hotel and restaurant located on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm, situated on a hill within expansive gardens close to the waterfront. The property features roughly one hundred rooms in a minimalist style and a terrace overlooking the surrounding parkland.
The hotel was founded as a restaurant in 1748 and evolved over centuries into a well-known gathering place in Stockholm. In the 1950s, the famous Hasselback potato dish was created in its kitchen, and during the 1980s it played a significant role in the city's cultural scene.
The name Hasselbacken comes from the hazelnut bushes that once grew in this area. Today, the hotel serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors share meals and celebrations, with many people holding personal memories connected to this location.
The hotel is easily accessible from central Stockholm by public transport or on foot and sits near several museums and parks. The rooms are simply furnished, allowing guests to spend more time outdoors in the gardens and on the terrace.
The famous Hasselback potato dish was invented in the kitchen in 1953 by a young chef and has become a classic in Swedish cuisine. The terrace overlooks what were once royal hunting grounds, now used as public parks for everyone to enjoy.
