Pop House Hotel

Pop House Hotel is a boutique hotel located at Djurgårdsvägen 68 in the Konsthallen block on Södra Djurgården in Stockholm, Sweden. It occupies the same building as ABBA The Museum, the permanent exhibition about the Swedish pop group ABBA, and is part of a cultural and hospitality complex that also includes a museum shop and a restaurant. The hotel opened in April 2013 under the name Melody Hotel, was later renamed Pop House Hotel, and has also been known as Backstage Hotel. The building was designed by Johan Celsing Arkitektkontor and was constructed beginning in spring 2012 on the site of the former summer restaurant Lindgården, which dated from 1929 and had stood unused since 1993. The property is owned by the real estate and construction company Arcona, which also served as initiator and developer of the new building. The hotel has approximately 50 rooms, each with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and three suites, a superior room and a double room on the top floor. The hotel also operates a restaurant. The managing director is Claes Livijn, who previously ran Villa Källhagen on Norra Djurgården. According to Livijn, the hotel, the restaurant and the two museums should be perceived as a single supplier to the market. The building has an L-shaped footprint and stands south of Liljevalchs konsthall. Above ground it has three floors and a rooftop level, with each floor slightly set back from the one below, giving the building a characteristic structure. The facade is clad in painted solid and glued laminated timber framing longitudinal terraces and glass sections. The roofs are flat and covered with sedum plants. The gross floor area is approximately 5,500 square metres. The hotel is part of the Royal National City Park. The establishment is closely tied to ABBA The Museum, which opened on 7 May 2013 and has attracted millions of visitors. The hotel and museum together form a destination for music and culture tourists on Djurgården.
