The Hotel J in Nacka, Stockholm

This nautical-themed, boutique hotel has a secluded, out-in-the-country feel, although it’s only a 10-minute drive from central Stockholm. Though the suburban area of Nacka, one of the city’s business hubs, can be relatively dead at night, has an excellent waterfront restaurant and is near numerous corporate offices. Rooms have tiny tube TVs, but include perks like balconies and free Wi-Fi. And guests return to the hotel again and again for its beautiful setting: Reachable by boat, the hotel overlooks the water, dotted by sailboats and yachts.

The cozy lobby-meets-breakfast room stays busy with guests.

It’s hard to beat these views.

The J Deluxe Room, and all rooms at the hotel, have a cheery, nautical theme.

Locals and tourists alike dine at Restaurant J, set up with family-style tables.

Adirondack chairs are set up on the hotel’s lawn so guests can take in the view.
