Biz Apartment Hammarby Sjöstad

Aparthotel by Hammarby Canal with Copper Club restaurant in the building

Biz Apartment Hammarby Sjöstad is located at Heliosgången 20 in Hammarby Sjöstad, an urban district project characterised by continuous canal routes, cycle paths along the water, and a mix of residential and commercial services. The hotel is situated within walking distance of the vibrant Södermalm and close to Tele2 Arena and Globen, making it a practical base for both business travellers and tourists.

The hotel is part of the Biz Apartment chain, which operates facilities at Gärdet, Solna, Hammarby Sjöstad and Bromma. The concept is the same at all locations: apartment hotels with fully equipped kitchens in each unit, making it a natural choice for guests staying several nights who want more control over their daily routine than a traditional hotel offers. The hotel has a total of 168 apartments divided into several categories, ranging from Studio Medium at 27 square metres to Two Bedroom Terrace at approximately 60 square metres. Directly adjacent to the lobby is the restaurant Copper Club: Asian Fusion & Gin Distillery, a concrete advantage compared to apartment hotels where on-site dining options are often limited.

Breakfast is available for an additional charge but is not included in the standard rate. The hotel is cashless, meaning payment is made by card or digital payment methods only. Reception is staffed 24 hours a day and the hotel offers conference facilities and co-working space adjacent to the meeting rooms. Cleaning is carried out weekly and additional cleaning can be ordered for an extra charge. A laundry room and luggage storage are available to guests. Parking is available at the hotel's own facility for a fee. Pets are not accepted and the hotel is non-smoking throughout the property.

Room categories from studio to two-bedroom with terrace

The range spans clearly defined categories with different sizes, layouts and maximum occupancy. Studio Medium at 27 sqm is the hotel's standard option and accommodates a maximum of two guests; each unit has a kitchen with dishwasher, double bed or two single beds, armchair, dining area and fully tiled bathroom. Studio Large is 30 sqm and sleeps up to three people, with a double bed and the option of a sofa bed as an additional bed.

One Bedroom at 35 sqm has separate bedroom and living room and accommodates up to three guests. One Bedroom Duplex is 45 sqm spread over two floors, with the bedroom on the upper floor and kitchen with living room on the lower floor, with views over Hammarby Sjöstad and space for up to three people. One Bedroom Terrace is also 45 sqm on one floor and includes an outdoor terrace, with space for up to four guests. The most spacious category is Two Bedroom Terrace at approximately 60 sqm with three rooms and kitchen, terrace and space for up to five people.

All categories have fully equipped kitchens with dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker. Each apartment has a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, wardrobe, ironing board and free WiFi. TV with international channels is included in the One Bedroom categories and in Studio Large; the Studio Medium category lists TV with international channels in its specification on the official room page.

Public transport, Avicii Arena and Hammarbybacken within reach

Hammarby Sjöstad has good public transport connections and the hotel is located close to tram services to the city centre. Södermalm is within walking distance, and from there Slussen and Stockholm's central areas can be reached quickly by underground or bus. The combination of location and public transport provision means that guests without a car can move smoothly around Stockholm, which is a practical advantage for both business travellers and tourists who want to visit several parts of the city during the same stay.

Nearby attractions of practical relevance include Avicii Arena, formerly known as Ericsson Globe, which is nearby and is one of Europe's largest indoor arenas for concerts and events. Tele2 Arena for football is also nearby. Hammarbybacken – a ski slope open for activities in both summer and winter – is explicitly mentioned on the hotel's official website as an excursion destination for guests. These three destinations make the area particularly attractive for those planning a visit related to sport, music or outdoor activities, and the hotel's geographical position means that all three can be reached without longer travel times.

For those travelling by car, parking is available at the hotel's own facility for a fee. Södermalm's restaurant and shopping scene is accessible on foot, and Hammarby Sjöstad has its own range of cafés, restaurants and grocery shops along the canals. Directly adjacent to the hotel's lobby is the restaurant Copper Club: Asian Fusion & Gin Distillery, which gives guests a dining option on site without having to leave the building. The hotel's location suits those who want a quieter neighbourhood atmosphere with quick access to central Stockholm via public transport.

Self-catering, laundry room and weekly cleaning as a service model

The Biz Apartment concept is based on guests largely looking after themselves, which is clearly reflected in the level of service. Cleaning is included weekly rather than daily, which is standard for apartment hotels but differs from traditional hotels where daily cleaning is the norm. In practice, this means that guests staying for shorter periods may never receive cleaning during their stay, which is worth knowing in advance. Guests who wish more frequent cleaning can book this for an additional charge.

A laundry room for self-service washing is available in the building, and the hotel also offers the option of dropping off laundry. Luggage storage is available for guests arriving before check-in time or needing to leave luggage after checkout. There is no room service in the traditional sense, but the kitchen in each apartment makes it possible to prepare your own meals – a practical advantage for longer stays. All apartments are supplied with towels, bed linen and kitchen utensils, meaning guests do not need to bring anything of their own.

The hotel is clearly aimed at both business travellers and private individuals staying for more than a couple of nights. Conference facilities and co-working space are available for work-related needs, and reception is staffed 24 hours a day to assist with queries and service. Pets are not accepted according to the hotel's policy. The combination of a kitchen-equipped apartment, 24-hour reception and a restaurant in the building makes Biz Apartment Hammarby Sjöstad a clear alternative that differs from both standard hotels and private rental apartments.
