It’s been a while since I’ve been in Stockholm, and it is very much on my “to go” list for this year. When I do go, I will check in to the attractive Nobis Hotel and will eat at Frantzen/Lindeberg which, I am told, is a wonderful experience. The food is excellent, says my friend who dined there this week, but it is their knowledge of wine and beer – and even their ability to make great beer pairings – which impressed him.
What blew his socks off was their magical ability to produce a bottle of aged L’Abbe de Saint Bon-Chien, one of the rarest beers around. And if you are not familiar with this unfiltered, unpasteurized, limited-edition ale brewed by Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes in Switzerland, for about $35 a bottle you should indulge. It’s an experience in itself.
And speaking of experiences, check out the video on F/L’s website..it’s pretty great too.
Tim and Kit Kemp, founders of Firmdale Hotels, have just opened their second NY property at 18 West 56th Street, 2 blocks from Central Park and steps away from great shops, restaurants and museums. The Whitby is as stylish as their downtown Crosby Street Hotel - in fact, I prefer it, finding the public spaces warmly inviting and the top floor 2-bedroom suite with furnished terraces divine. All the comfortably spacious rooms are flooded with light and delight with the choice of art, fabrics and attention to detail. Each room is unique and so, if you come and go with regular frequency, try them all until you find the one that perfectly suits!
