🌟 Haymarket by Scandic – History Meets Modern Comfort
Haymarket is not just a hotel — it’s a Stockholm landmark. The building was once the PUB department store, one of the city’s most famous shopping destinations. In the 1920s, a young Greta Garbo worked here as a shop assistant before her Hollywood career began.
Today, Haymarket by Scandic keeps that heritage alive with a glamorous Art Deco design, echoing the 1920s and 1930s style, combined with modern hotel comforts.
