Sjöfartshuset hosts conferences for up to 150 people, dinners for up to 140 seated and receptions for up to 190 standing, over four floors at Skeppsbron 10 in Gamla stan, Stockholm. The house has its own kitchen and pâtisserie, and rooms with views over the water of Strömmen. Meetings, weddings, private parties and catering are all offered by the same team.
Seminars and company events
Conference rooms range from small boardrooms to a large attic hall. Sjömannarummet, on the first floor next to the inner courtyard, seats up to 11 in boardroom style and comes with a projector, whiteboard, flipchart and wifi. Kajutan on the third floor takes 2 to 11 people and connects to the larger Strömsalongen, which takes 21 to 70. Skeppsbrorummet seats 12 to 50 in pastel salons, with blue salons next door that can serve as breakout rooms. For large events, Neptunisalen holds 55 to 140 in a timbered attic with Skultuna lamps and natural daylight. The small Italienska rummet, a salon with windows to the water, can be booked as a breakout room for Strömsalongen or Kajutan.
Groups choose one of three conference packages for the whole party, from a standard day with breakfast buffet, lunch and afternoon coffee to a richer version with a two-course lunch. Add-ons include a business lunch, a glass of sparkling wine with canapés, and a guided history walk of the Old Town with one of two named historians.
Weddings and receptions
Couples gather guests for a toast in salons facing the water, then sit down to dinner in a separate dining room. The salons can be used for the ceremony itself. The hire fee covers flowers, candles, staff, cleaning, projector and wifi, and the couple keeps access to the rooms right after the ceremony. Hire usually ends at 01:00, with an extension to 02:00 or 03:00 for weddings. The team offers a free consultation before the wedding and invites couples to a viewing.
For parties, Skeppsbrorummet takes 15 to 54 seated and up to 70 standing. Strömsalongen and Neptunisalen together take 55 to 140 seated in Neptunisalen and up to 190 standing.
Rooms and capacities
The main event rooms are Skeppsbrorummet, Strömsalongen and Neptunisalen, with smaller rooms for meetings. The house has four floors and capacities are stated as a minimum and a maximum per room, so check the minimum guest numbers when you plan a smaller group.
Catering
The kitchen and pâtisserie are described as the heart of the house. All food is cooked from scratch, with a focus on sustainable, local and organic produce where possible. The team proposes menus at several levels and welcomes your own ideas. Allergies are handled with an equivalent alternative. The house also offers mobile catering for gardens, offices or country houses, and a pick-up option from Skeppsbron 10.
History and setting
The building stands on Skeppsbron, four houses from the royal palace in Gamla stan, in a cultural-heritage house. The site says feasts have been heard here since the 17th century. Skeppsbrorummet is described as one of the best-preserved state apartments of its period, with door overpieces and tall windows.
