Hasselbacken

What Hasselbacken does

Hasselbacken is a historic hotel and restaurant complex located at Hazeliusbacken 20 on Djurgården island in Stockholm, Sweden, operated by Cirkus Venues AB under the Miramis Sweden group. The property traces its lineage to 1765 (with the current restaurant founded in 1853 by Jacob Wilhelm Davidson) and operates 113 hotel rooms across 13 categories ranging from Classic Rooms (19-24 sqm) to the Åboms Suite (50 sqm), plus the Davidsons Suite and several superior rooms featuring private Finnish or steam saunas. The property is renowned as the birthplace of Hasselbackspotatis (1953), a globally recognized Swedish culinary creation, and houses a full-service restaurant, bar, and seven event spaces including the 300-guest Hazelius ballroom and the Crown royal event hall.

The business operates a multi-stream revenue model combining hotel accommodations (starting from 1,000 SEK/night), food and beverage (breakfast buffet 295 SEK, business lunch 350 SEK, à la carte, bar), meetings and events across the seven venues, gift cards (200-10,000 SEK denominations), parking (375-450 SEK/24h via Aimo Park), and themed packages bundling stays with Gröna Lund, ABBA Museum, and Junibacken attractions. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via the branded booking site and phone, supplemented by OTA partnerships and a dedicated corporate sales team. The customer base spans leisure travelers, couples, families, corporate event buyers, and wedding clients.

Recent strategic activity has centered on capability reinvestment: a 2020 renovation of restaurant, lobby, reception, and conference rooms, ISO 14001 certification across the Miramis group, a 2022 Green Destinations Platinum Award for sustainability, and the introduction of new product lines including a full hotel buyout service, teambuilding activities, and beverage tastings.
