Hotel Kung Carl is taking an exciting step forward in its expansion, adding a new restaurant and bar on Kungsgatan, infusing even more elegance and historic charm into its offerings. Located right next to the hotel's iconic building, this new space creates an oasis for culinary and beverage experiences, all inspired by the hotel's rich history.

Previously a separate store, the new venue has undergone a careful restoration to bring back the building's original Art Nouveau style from 1903. By opening up the walls between the spaces, the room has become a natural extension of the hotel. The ceiling height has been restored to its original level, showcasing the beautiful and unique stucco details. Combined with Hotel Kung Carl's signature decor—think pink marble and dreamlike William Morris floral patterns—the result is a perfect balance between modernity and timeless classic style.

The open floor plan creates an atmosphere that is perfect for both dinners and celebrations, whether it’s a weekday or the weekend. It's an inviting, elegant space where guests can feel at home all year round. In addition to its forty seats, the restaurant also offers “Punschhyllan,” a more intimate area for parties of up to ten people. The walls will feature a stunning mural depicting some of the hotel’s most iconic guests over the years, such as August Strindberg, Greta Garbo, and Selma Lagerlöf. These artworks, visible from Kungsgatan, serve as a tribute to the colorful and storied history of Hotel Kung Carl.

“We can’t wait to welcome our guests to this new space, which, with its unique history and iconic ambiance, creates a special place in the heart of Stockholm. By carefully restoring the historic details and opening up the area, we’ve been able to expand our offerings and invite even more people to experience what makes Hotel Kung Carl so special. We hope that this new atmosphere will become a place for everything from casual meet-ups to memorable occasions,” says Marcus Östlundh, Managing Director of HKC Hotels.

The new menu celebrates the hotel's storied past, offering a variety of dishes inspired by its traditions. Guests can enjoy classics like oysters, entrecôte, and steak tartare, as well as more approachable options like meatballs and shrimp salad. The drink list reflects the restaurant's unique blend of nostalgia and modernity, featuring both timeless classics and contemporary cocktails, often with a twist of Hotel Kung Carl’s own Punsch.

Kung Carl Mat & Bar opened to the public on October 10th.
