First Hotel Norrtull

Red brick in northern Vasastan – formerly Hotel Norrtull

First Hotel Norrtull is located at S:t Eriksgatan 119 in Vasastan and belongs to the First Hotels chain. The hotel was previously called Hotel Norrtull and is now operated under its current name within the chain. The building is constructed in red brick and has a characteristic wedge shape created by the plot being bounded by S:t Eriksgatan, Dalagatan and Norra stationsgatan. The façade's appearance is a distinctive landmark in the district. The building comprises five storeys and a total of 129 guest rooms.

The hotel is located in northern Vasastan, directly adjacent to Hagastaden – the urban development project that has grown around the Norra station area, including the nearby Karolinska University Hospital. The location makes the hotel a natural choice for guests with business at the hospital or at the office clusters established in Hagastaden. The area is characterised by a mixed range of cafés, restaurants and shops along S:t Eriksgatan and the surrounding districts. Sankt Eriksplan underground station is approximately 850 metres from the hotel, and Vasaparken can be reached in about twelve minutes' walk. Bonniers konsthall is approximately 950 metres away, whilst Sergels torg is around 2.4 kilometres away and Stockholm Central Station can be reached in approximately 25 minutes' walk.

The hotel welcomes guests with check-in from 15:00 and check-out by 12:00 at the latest. The reception is staffed 24 hours a day. The hotel features the restaurant Brasseri Norrtull and the opportunity to play billiards. For conferences and meetings, the hotel offers a total of five meeting rooms with capacity for up to 400 people. The hotel's official website is at firsthotels.se and contact can be made via email to [email protected] or by telephone on 08-30 03 50.

Guest rooms with street or courtyard views

The hotel's 129 rooms offer views either towards the street or towards the courtyard – a consideration that may be relevant for those sensitive to street activity along S:t Eriksgatan. The rooms are distributed over 5 storeys and furnished in Nordic design with modern amenities. All rooms are equipped with complimentary wi-fi, multi-channel TV, desk, seating area, tea and coffee maker and iron with ironing board. Parquet flooring is featured in the rooms and contributes to a warm and timeless feel. The bathrooms have separate toilet and shower, hairdryer and bath towels. Complimentary wi-fi also applies in the hotel's common areas.

Daily housekeeping is included in your stay and luggage storage is available for guests who need to leave luggage before check-in or after check-out. The hotel is entirely non-smoking and has a lift and accessible rooms for guests with special needs. Parking is available adjacent to the hotel, which can be convenient for those travelling to Stockholm by car.

First Hotel Norrtull is located at S:t Eriksgatan 119 in Stockholm and was previously named Hotel Norrtull. For guests with specific requests regarding room type or location in the building – for example, quieter courtyard rooms versus street-facing rooms – availability may vary depending on occupancy and arrival date. It is therefore recommended that you confirm your request directly with the hotel before your stay to increase the likelihood of getting the room that suits you best.

Restaurant, lobby bar and conference facilities

The hotel has a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant is called Brasseri Norrtull. The lunch menu includes fish, meat and vegetarian dishes as well as wraps and salads. The dinner menu works with locally produced and seasonally adapted ingredients. A lobby bar with lounge area is on site and is open to both hotel guests and outside visitors. Breakfast is served in the restaurant, but whether breakfast is included in the room rate varies depending on the type of booking and should be checked at the time of booking.

Conference and meeting facilities are a clear part of the hotel's profile. In total there are five meeting rooms with a combined capacity for up to 400 people, making the hotel suitable for everything from small working groups to larger corporate events. The modular division of the facilities makes it possible to adapt the space according to the size and needs of the group. The hotel actively markets itself to the corporate segment, partly thanks to its proximity to Karolinska University Hospital and Hagastaden's office clusters, both of which are located in the nearby area around S:t Eriksgatan.

For recreation, there is, among other things, a billiards table available at the hotel. The reception is staffed 24 hours a day and staff are reported to speak English, which facilitates international guests and business travellers. The combination of restaurant, lobby bar, well-developed conference facilities and a central location in Vasastan means that First Hotel Norrtull caters to both business travellers and private guests seeking functional and well-located accommodation in northern central Stockholm.

Vasastan as a base: parks, culture and communications

The hotel's address in northern Vasastan gives guests walking distance to several of Stockholm's well-known attractions. Sankt Matteus Church is within five minutes' walk. Vasaparken, one of Stockholm's larger city parks, can be reached in twelve minutes' walk and offers a welcome green space in the middle of the city. Stockholm City Library, designed by Gunnar Asplund, can be reached in fifteen minutes' walk and is one of Stockholm's most acclaimed architectural works. Strindbergsmuseet is approximately twenty minutes' walk away. Bonniers konsthall, which offers contemporary art, is approximately 950 metres from the hotel. Hagaparken with its historic buildings and green spaces is within walking distance to the north and is a popular excursion destination for those seeking more extensive nature experiences near the city centre.

Fotografiska museum on Södermalm is approximately 4.2 kilometres away, making public transport a practical option for that journey. Sergels torg in the city centre is 2.4 kilometres from the hotel. Stockholm Central Station can be reached in approximately 25 minutes' walk from the hotel, making it possible to get there on foot if you prefer.

The nearest underground station is Sankt Eriksplan on the green line, just over 850 metres from the hotel, and from there the connections to the rest of Stockholm are good. For those travelling by car, the location at Norra länken provides relatively easy access to the E4 northbound towards Arlanda and southbound towards Södra länken. Parking is available adjacent to the hotel. Overall, Vasastan offers a varied range of culture, green spaces and communications that make First Hotel Norrtull a suitable base for visits to both the city centre and the northern parts of Stockholm.
