Stockholm Syndrome and Nobis Hotel

Nobis Hotel is located right in the middle of stylish Stockholm.  

The experience at Nobis Hotel can be described as Stockholm in a nutshell – stylish decoration, good food, nice people and lively atmosphere.

Now are you ready for the surprise? Familiar with the physiological phenomenon of “Stockholm Syndrome” – a state where hostages develop some sort of emotional connection with their capturers.

A bank robbery that occurred in Stockholm in 1973 gave rise to this phenomenon and guess where it was located? Right in the building, which is now occupied by Nobis Hotel. 

Four bank employees were held hostages by a prison escapee during the robbery for six days but they grew an intense connection with their capturer. 

Even the police had at some point thought that some of the hostages could also be a part of this plot.
