Elite Hotel Plaza, Stockholm, Sweden, 25 September 2026

The breakfast room in this hotel is somewhat peculiar. It is quite dark, and it is not quite open plan. It is therefore easy to get lost until you realise what the layout is. That being said, a very nice breakfast. Excellent scrambled eggs with chives, crispy bacon, Swedish sausages, nice choice of cold cuts and cheese, excellent bread, including very nice croissants. There could have been more vegetables, but, on the other hand, there are three types of hummus. And there is loose-leaf tea. On the negative side, only 9ne kind of fish (a herring); and I am not sure if the juice was freshly squeezed. And in common with quite a few other Swedish hotels, they do not provide you with butter, only a margarine-style butter substitute. I am not sure why this has become the trend, since I think butter is probably healthier. But this is a minor point, and I still think this was very good breakfast, certainly worth 7.5/10
