Sheraton was built at the Snäckan city block during the redevelopment of Norrmalm which greatly changed the Stockholm City Centre and the area around Tegelbacken. The block had previously hosted the Nya Banken bank between 1912 and 1920. The Kronprinsens stall building was located in the middle of Tegelbacken south of the current site of Sheraton. This building hosted the café Tysta Mari which gave its name to the pedestrian walkway Tysta Marigången going around the city block. Construction of the new hotel was a part of the total redevelopment of Tegelbacken from 1959 to 1971.
The building was designed by AOS Arkitekter and built from 1969 to 1971. The hotel has nine floors and a rooftop floor, and has a reddish-brown facade of glassed chamotte facing Vasagatan and Tegelbacken, and a brown facade facing Herkulesgatan. The facade on the inner yard is white and there is a portal originally belonging to the Wrede Palace at the inner yard. [4] The facade plates are 50 cm × 50 cm (20 in × 20 in) and 70 cm × 30 cm (28 in × 12 in) in size and were made by the company Ifö Sanitär in Bromölla. [5]
The interior of the building was thoroughly renovated in 2007, including discontinuing the classic piano bar, expanding the conference rooms and renovating the hotel rooms. [3]
