After two days at the Clarion Sign hotel<\/a>, I’m splashing out and changing to the At Six hotel<\/a>. By splashing out I mean the cost has doubled, but still I paid like just $105 for the 20,000 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Six is one of the best hotels of Stockholm and very centrally located, as in you can reach the main places within 10 to 20 minutes. Next-door in the same block is Hobo, another Strawberry hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n

I was wondering what its name actually means, until my friend reminded me that the hotel’s street number is six…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see from the plate at the entrance, At Six is also part of the Preferred Hotels group. It is not uncommon for high-end boutique hotels to join multiple groups at the same time, and you can expect to see crosses between Preferred Hotels \/ LHW \/ Mr & Mrs Smith \/ Melia \/ SLH.<\/p>\n\n\n

Right in the middle of the lobby is a spotlight of the hotel: Mar Whispering by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. I’m not an art person but I find the sculpture quite interesting, and I saw another piece of artwork from him at St Regis Venice a couple of months later.<\/p>\n\n\n

The concierge welcomed us warmly with a glass of Prosecco upon entering. I just became a Strawberry Platinum member thanks to their tier match offer<\/a>, but the staff never mentioned that at all during the check-in process. I did however get free breakfast and 4pm late check-out. <\/p>\n\n\n

The hotel is almost full and no room upgrade was granted. The levelling is a bit weird – Ground floor is Floor 4 and the underground gym is Floor 1.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Our standard room is on Floor 8.<\/p>\n\n\n

The room size is even smaller than Clarion Sign, but the materials and finish make a whole world of difference.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

All the small pieces here and there show you it is a lavish hotel. I have only one complaint: the extensive use of granite and black wood dims the whole tune, and they should install more (brighter) lights to compensate that.<\/p>\n\n\n

There’s no swimming pool, but the gym and sauna room are free to all guests.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Breakfast buffet is priced at over 300 SEK pp which isn’t cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n

In terms of spread it’s not much better than Clarion Sign, but the quality is finer and they make eggs too. Croissant is especially tasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All hotel staff are very enthusiastic and go out of their way to make sure your need is satisfied. Except for the lack of a pool I’m fairly impressed by the hotel, and my 20,000 points is well spent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
