Think about how much we have, yet we long for something different. We love feeling safe yet yearn for new challenges. We raise our living standards, still we long for the fundamental, the basic. We want to live in the city but every now and then, nature calls us back. We want to be spontaneous; to be able to pack only the most essential, put on our backpacks - and just leave. We want to improvise and create, seize the day, adjust to the wind and weather, discover new paths in the forest and new streets in the city. We are not only professional or private - we are both, all of the time. We are the generation of diverse, curious, and exploring ’bon vivants’.
To us, luxury is never about the surface. It’s about encounters, contrasts, experiences, and inspiration. It’s having the opportunity to gather around the campfire instead of the TV, to hear new stories, get new impressions, or for just one moment find ourselves out of reach, offline, offgrid. Luxury to us is doing something good for other people, and to feel good about ourselves, from the inside. So, put on your backpack and a pair of shoes that works for both an expedition into the unknown and for the party tonight. Let us show you where the adventure begins – right here in the heart of the city.
At Campfire - Downtown Camper’s Grill & Bar:
Food, Friends & Fire
At the heart of Downtown Camper’s culinary offering is Campfire, a warm and inviting restaurant where global comfort food favorites meet the flavors and ingredients of the Nordics. The atmosphere is laid-back yet vibrant— perfect for a memorable evening out. True to its name, Campfire is all about the warmth and comfort of shared meals by the fire that connects us. Expect wood-fired grilling, smoky flavors, and a menu that celebrates the best of Scandinavian ingredients.
Inspired by childhood memories, world travels, and the kind of comfort food that just puts a smile on your face, Campfire’s menu offers dishes that are both deeply familiar and pleasantly surprising. Whether you’re in the mood for a tender piece of grilled meat, fresh seafood, or a hearty plant-based dish, there’s something here for everyone.
Campfire’s chefs place an emphasis on sustainability, sourcing produce from local farmers and purveyors who share their commitment to quality and en-
vironmental care. Let’s not forget the drinks—the bar serves up a selection of craft cocktails, local beers, and expertly curated wines, perfect for pairing with your meal or enjoying on their own.
This place brings together the best parts of a night out and a night in. Think flickering firelight, cozy corners, and the kind of friendly, easygoing atmosphere that makes you want to stay for ”just one more beer”. The rustic yet modern décor adds to the charm, with natural wood accents, soft lighting, and an open kitchen that lets diners watch the chefs in action.
Campfire is the perfect place to wind down and refuel. So whether you’re dropping in after a long day, meeting up with friends, or just here to roast some marshmallows by the fire, pull up a chair. There’s a spot waiting for you.

When in Stockholm - A Survival Guide
Stockholm, like any other city, has its peculiarities. As a visitor it’s sometimes easy to feel a little out of place. How do you walk? How do you talk? How do you find your way? Here are seven tips that will help you get into the game quicker. So relax, soon you’ll blend in like a proper local.
Hi or not to hi
Stockholmers are social creatures, but when meeting new people they can be a bit reserved at first. The opposite to people from Gothenburg who happily greet everyone. But in Stockholm, a silent nod is sometimes about all you get. Don’t be discouraged, but play it cool. If you are to greet a local say “Hej” (Hello) or try one of the slang versions “Tjena” or “Tja” (similar to “Hey” or “Ciao”). That will surely break the ice and you’ll get a “Hej” and a smile in return.
Do as the pigeons - take the subway
Over 60 different species of birds can be found in central Stockholm. One of the more commonly occurring species is the pigeon that, like the Stockholmer, is a social and faithful bird that often mates for life. Some of the more developed specimens have taken their urban life to the next level. They take the subway! The so called Farsta Pigeons can be seen getting on the train at the station of Hökarängen and getting off at Farsta Centrum. The birds have learned that the subway will take them to new places where they can find food. So, if you are in a hurry to get from A to B, do like the Farsta Pigeons and take the subway.
Just keep walking
Stockholmers consider themselves early adopters. They quickly absorb the latest, greatest trends and pay no attention to the fact that they live in a cold distant corner of Europe. Instead they act like they live in Manhattan. But they never seem to be able to master all the codes of metropolitan living: Like passing a person on the street without bumping into them. In the big cities like New York and London, you rarely see any collisions between two pedestrians, but in Stockholm they can get caught in an awkward rocking back and forth situation, where as one person moves to the right, the other moves to the left and so on until one person is able to break the spell and continue walking. Our advice here? Be safe and just keep walking.
Up and down on a bike
Every day around 100 000 of the city’s inhabitants get on their bikes to get to and from work, and in rush traffic they move fast. Fastest of them all are the bike couriers and “mamils” (middle-aged men in lycra), and in places like Götgatsbacken by Slussen you have to pay extra attention, they take no prisoners. Exploring the city by bike has its advantages, though. You get to experience the street life, architecture, enjoy amazing views and all the lush and green open areas with all your senses. So if you really want to blend in, do as the locals and take the bike. But wear a helmet, don’t forget this is Volvo land.
Sorry, no cash
In a couple of years when the hip scene in Stockholm has evolved even further, cash will probably be cool again. The moustache-cladded men that today can be seen brewing IPAs will probably start forging their very own silver coins by then. But until then, your credit card is still king. The easiest method of payment is called Swish, a Swedish payment app. However, you’re gonna need a bank account in Sweden to use it.
Go for a swim - all year round No we’re not kidding, apparently the Swedes have rediscovered water. In the dark, boring months during the pandemic, someone thought it would be a great idea to start a new mega trend: Let’s go ice swimming they said. It’ll be fun they said. Oh well, maybe not for everyone but if you’re feeling gutsy, by all means, go for it. Rumour has it that swimming in cold waters can extend your life by years and years...
Conversation
What topics of conversation are suitable to have with locals? The weather is always a safe bet. Life in the city follows the shifting seasons and there is always a phrase that will fit the current forecast. “How wonderful to see the sun!” and “We have longed for this rain” or “Been a long time since we saw this much snow”. If you are in the neighbourhood Södermalm ask “How is Bajen doing?”. That’s the nickname for the local football team Hammarby. In the same area you’ll be very likely to find a new friend who loves to talk about locally brewed beer, sneakers and moustache grooming. But if you really want to get the conversation going with a local, ask them about Slussen, the hub that connects Södermalm and the Old City. It has been under construction for the last couple of years, and everyone, and we mean absolutely everyone, has an opinion about the project. Ironically, no one seems to know when it will be finished. If all else fails you can always talk about Zlatan.

Upcycled Sips by Bella
At rooftop level, in Downtown Camper’s cocktail lounge, surplus ingredients are being given a second life through a bold collaboration with mixologist Bella @MixedByBella Porcile—known for her innovative, nature-inspired approach to the craft. The result? A limited run of inventive cocktails and zero-proof drinks that prove sustainability can be just as delicious as it is creative—one upcycled sip at a time.
Together with Bella, The Nest has created Upcycled Sips—a limited-edition collection that transforms overlooked ingredients into something worth celebrating. What might once have been discarded is now reimagined: from surplus berries and breakfast pastry, to coffee grounds and other elements with untapped potential. Ingredients that could easily be dismissed still have plenty to offer— now transformed into vibrant infusions and layered syrups that form the foundation of drinks as thoughtful as they are flavorful.
For Bella, taste always comes first, while this project adds another layer—the cocktails share a story that aims to inspire people to rethink what they might otherwise throw away. “I love the idea of refining what already exists and giving it new life,” says Bella. “It becomes a way of telling a story while showing that sustainable choices can be a natural part of a truly flavorful experience. Together with Downtown Camper, I want to inspire a more conscious and creative approach to working with ingredients.”
The result is a menu where creativity thrives within constraints, proving that innovation often begins by looking at something familiar in a new way. It’s a philosophy that also reflects a broader shift, where sustainability is becoming a natural part of everyday decisions—both visible and behind the scenes.
“This is a clear example of how sustainability and taste can go hand in hand,” says Thomas Fankl, Director of Food & Beverage at Scandic Hotels. “In our company, we continuously work to reduce our climate footprint, both in big and small ways. This collaboration shows how common challenges can lead to new ideas and how, together with our partners, we can create sustainable solutions in a creative way.”
For those who want to recreate the experience at home, a limited-edition drink mix bag has been made available for purchase in the Too Good To Go app. It can be picked up at the bar and includes recipes and all necessary ingredients—except alcohol—to make the drinks at home. It’s an invitation to experiment, to rethink, and perhaps a reminder to see the contents of one’s own kitchen in a new light.
The limited-edition cocktails are available in The Nest until end of September this year - enjoy the taste of pure creativity.

Don’t miss The Nest Pool Club - bringing the vibe to new heights with laid-back music, refreshing cocktails, and a happy summer mood. Gather your crew and let the evening begin in style. Every day from 3 pm.
The Nest Wellness, reimagined:
The Nest is no ordinary retreat. It has been designed to boost you with a very modern approach to wellbeing - no hushing, no pointing fingers, no fuss. This is a place where you can be yourself and kick back on your own terms while admiring the city from above.
Aching limbs after a day of exploring the city? Take the lift to the top and discover The Nest: An urban retreat and a must-see for all guests.
Leave behind the distractions of digital screens and busy traffic, embrace the vibe and discover a whole new take on wellness. Step into the sauna, shaped like a bird’s nest. Lather up in the experience showers, then head outside to the pool for a cold drink and some serious chill. Soon you will be ready for another day.
Back to basics
The ”spa world” can feel a bit intimidating to many of us: “Do this, do that, and keep your voice down”. Basically, very far from how most of us want to retreat, right? The Nest offers a fresh approach to wellness. The guiding thought behind the concept is to encourage a sustainable lifestyle - one that you can keep up with.
Today, we live in a digital world where we deal with loads of unnatural stress factors that affect our health and the way we socialize with others. People start to become aware of the importance of taking better care of themselves; to minimize screen time and focus on the meaningful relationships in life. The Nest offers an including, laid-back and utterly stand-alone experience - a new generation of wellness.
Do it yourself
There are no traditional spa treatments in The Nest. Instead, the offering has been shaped to encompass sustainability, education and long-
term wellbeing. Hence, the focus on DIY treatments, where the idea is to equip you with the know-how to best take care of yourself and your skin - a knowledge that can be applied and used long after you leave the hotel.
The Nest Pool Club
Another important thing to remember is that the tempo in The Nest will increase through-out the day. Visit early if you are looking for some peace and quiet. The music plays softer, and there are fewer people in the retreat. From 15.00, the music shifts to an ambient club vibe as the adjacent cocktail lounge opens, and the bar crowd fills the terrace. It’s the perfect time and place for an aperitif in the company of good friends.
House Rules
Welcome to The Nest - a place for new experiences and inspiration. Togetherness, wellbeing and fun is our focus here and hence, we encourage a phone-free environment. You are not allowed to talk on your phone, but if you want to take a picture as a memory to keep from your visit, you are more than welcome. Discover flavors from around the world on our drink menu, meet new and old friends, and enjoy great music to magical views from the top of Downtown Camper. Children are amazing, but up here, they are not our primary focus - we have other spaces in the hotel where kids can be kids. This is a place for adults to socialize and regain energy. Guests from 16 years and up are welcome to visit The Nest.
How to book
As a hotel guest you always have priority, but don’t forget to pre-book your visit on the website (by scanning the QR code on the opposite page) or by contacting the Front Desk. Towels, bathrobes, and slippers are provided. Swimsuits are available for purchase in The Nest.
