Certification 

LEED Gold, Nordic Swan Ecolabel

The award-winning Wingårdhs Architects has transformed a former warehouse into Blique by Nobis, a LEED-certified showpiece in Stockholm’s Hagastaden neighborhood. The architects installed climate-friendly infrastructure from the onset of the project, including LED lights, motion sensors, and time-controlled heat production, during construction. The hotel has achieved the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, an ambitious certification that focuses on the lifecycle of products, from detergent to coffee to furniture. On top of meeting these criteria, Blique by Nobis continues to innovate. The team turned a garage into an indoor farm and hired an in-house farmer to run it. Here—as well as in courtyard and rooftop gardens—the farmer works with hands-on methods to grow produce for the Nobis group’s hotels throughout Stockholm. The hotel collaborates with Klimato, a company that analyzes and labels the environmental impact of each dish to bring awareness and make it easy for guests to make responsible choices.

Learn about our Conscious Hotel Principles 

We spoke with the team at Blique by Nobis to learn the latest on the hotel’s conscious journey.

What is your sustainability philosophy?

At Blique by Nobis, our paramount objective is to forge a greener future. We are passionate about minimizing our environmental footprint, both individually and collectively with our guests.

How do you forge a connection to the local community and cultural surroundings?

About twice a month we host an event in collaboration with local artists, such as singers, stand-up comedians, and jazz musicians. We also host “Blique Talks,” our version of TED Talks, where we discuss important topics. In addition to our hotel guests, many members of the local community attend these events.

What do you see as the biggest sustainability hurdle for hotels? How are you combating that?

It is a challenge to uphold the same level of luxury and pampering that some guests expect while working to have the smallest impact on the planet per guest.
