Hötorget Subway Station
A lighter meeting place that is easy to navigate
Hötorget Subway Station is one of Stockholm’s oldest stations and it opened in 1952. Our project, which was to develop the station, is part of a larger concept called Mötesplats SL – a long-term investment in more travellers and happier travellers. Several of the busiest tube stations in Stockholm are now being developed into meeting places for both travellers and residents from the surrounding area where you can run your errands in a safe and inviting environment.
Easy to find with a better overview
Are you one of the 30,000 people in Stockholm who pass through Hötorget Subway Station on a daily basis? Then you cannot have missed the transformation that the central ticket hall has undergone during the last few years. We have upgraded the ticket hall for increased comfort and service with a clearer character. Transparency and translucency between shop and the ticket hall, light materials and an airy design creates an inviting, peaceful and pure environment for travellers to spend time in.
The biggest challenge—and the most noticeable improvement—is the clearer layout with less visual noise. For those who have struggled to find the right exit, navigating the station is now much easier. Four staircases lead directly to each corner of the Sveavägen–Kungsgatan junction, making it quicker to find the way.
A space both for travellers and local residents
Inside the ticket hall, new shops and restaurants serve travellers, passers-by, and local residents. The Mötesplats SL project sets a clear goal. Each station should strengthen the local identity and contribute to the area’s character.
