Blique by Nobis - The Neighborhood Hotel Redefined

Originally conceived by seminal architect Sigurd Lewerentz and now reanimated at the hands of Gert Wingårdh, the opening of Blique by Nobis marks the rebirth of a modernist landmark in one of Stockholm's emerging neighborhoods. Set between the gallery district of Vasastaden and the up-and-coming area of Hagastaden, Blique by Nobis stands not only as a launch point to the Swedish capital's arts scene, but also as a natural nucleus for local and traveling creatives. Here, amid a hotel, a bustling public courtyard, diverse restaurants and bars, and a rooftop terrace with breathtaking city views, one finds an unrivalled community hub for design, architecture, visual arts, food, and music. Add in an augmented industrial aesthetic that artfully combines raw steel and concrete, natural materials, and classic design pieces, and you have Scandinavia's hottest new scene-stealer. 

Blique by Nobis, Coming Soon

Renowned for its progressive vision and impeccable local knowledge, it is little surprise that the Nobis Group has chosen Stockholm's up and coming Hagastaden neighborhood as the home for its latest venture. Looking to bridge the concepts of hospitality and design, Blique by Nobis will serve as a hub for the local and visiting creative scene when the contemporary hotel opens its doors in spring 2019. Defined by a timeless aesthetic courtesy of Wingårdhs design studio, Blique by Nobis will stand as a community in its own right, spanning over almost a whole block and featuring a courtyard, several restaurants and bars, and a rooftop terrace.
