Hotel Kung Carl is a four-star hotel at Birger Jarlsgatan 21, beside Stureplan in the Östermalm district of central Stockholm. Its conference floor holds seven meeting rooms for 8 to 45 people, in a state apartment floor from the late 19th century with stucco, tiled stoves and dark wood. A party floor, a roof terrace and several private dining rooms host dinners and weddings, with menu, staff and rooms provided by the hotel.
Seminars and company events
The hotel describes itself as the oldest conference hotel in Stockholm. The meeting rooms are bright, quiet and used for business meetings, client events, mini trade shows, and day or residential conferences. Every room has a TV screen with hybrid meeting technology, a whiteboard and a flip chart, and a lounge next to the rooms serves as the break area.
The group can follow the meeting with dinner in the hotel restaurant or a drink in the bar, and conference packages are built with the restaurant to keep energy up through the day. The hotel is a member of Svenska Möten, a network of about 130 meeting venues in Sweden, and of Green Key.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings take place on the party floor, a room with high ceilings, stucco, tiled stoves and balconies over Stureplan. The hotel provides the menu, the staff and the rooms so the couple can focus on the day. The site lists further event settings: the roof terrace, a chambre séparée, the jazz club and Bistro La Belle Epoque. Capacities for these are not on the pages we read, so ask for them with your date.
