DC Paper - Summer 2022

SUMME R 2022

Think about how much we have, yet we long for something different. We love feeling safe yet yearn for new challenges. We raise our living standards, still we long for the fundamental, the basic.

We want to live in the city but every now and then, nature calls us back. We want to be spontaneous; to be able to pack only the most essential, put on our backpacks - and just leave. We want to improvise and create, seize the day, adjust to the wind and weather, discover new paths in the forrest, new streets in the city. We are not only professional or private - we are both, all of the time. We are the generation of diverse, curious and exploring ’bon vivants’.

To us, luxury is never about the surface. It’s about encounters, contrasts, experiences and inspiration. It’s having the opportunity to gather around the campfire instead of the TV, to hear new stories, get new impressions, or for just one moment find ourselves out of reach, offline, offgrid. Luxury to us is doing something good for other people, and to feel good about ourselves, from the inside.

So, put on your backpack and a pair of shoes that works for both an expedition into the unknown and for the party tonight. Let us show you where the adventure begins – right here in the heart of the city.

Grilling in the name of

Binny Colvin - avid rugby supporter and the new Head Chef in Downtown Camper’s kitchen. Originally from tiny town Blackall in the Australian outback, this fearless Aussie is now commanding the tongs in Campfire, and with equal measures of charisma and “iron fistiness” he is setting the bar high: Campfire’s new menu is packed with exciting dishes – created, cooked and perfected by a talented team working in the hottest room of the hotel. With his laid-back and humble, yet witty “quipster” personality, he has been able to build trust, vision and motivation in a multi-faceted team of chefs. His drive? To create memorable food experiences. Oh, did we fail to mention, this guy is slightly obsessed with food.

When 17-year-old Binny left Blackall and moved to the city Darwin in northern Australia, one could argue, his fate was sealed. Darwin was then as it is today, a melting pot of European and Asian cultures. Here, as he had the opportunity to trawl through markets and shops selling produce he’d never seen or tasted before, a new world of foods opened before his eyes. “I was instantly hooked and wanted to incorporate all the new exciting ingredients into my own cooking”, he recalls. Not long after, young Binny made up his mind to be a chef. “Working in a kitchen is a great outlet for creativity. I was attracted to the idea of working in a tight-knit group who worked as a real team to get a job done. The job as a chef ticked all my boxes.”

Binny moved to Sweden in 2011 and started as Sous Chef at Campfire in 2017. In 2021, he was assigned the role of Head Chef. He is very well-liked by colleagues and coworkers, and according to his team, he’s an organised, goal-oriented leader with an extraordinary ability to engage and motivate his colleagues. “Every day I feel extremely lucky to come to work – it’s such a great team. The people who work alongside me are a talented bunch of chefs who show up every day bustling with energy. The rebuilding of a kitchen after the effects of the pandemic are made a lot easier when you are surrounded by people with good energy and great skills - true team players.”

Working with the environment has always been imperative at Campfire: The assortment is frequently reviewed according to current reports on overfishing or reduced demand. Hence, suppliers are selected carefully depending on their sustainability policies, and all the fish is MSC labelled. All the meat served at the hotel has been Co2-compensated, meaning the emissions are being balanced out by the planting of trees. It’s a brilliant project in collaboration with Plan Vivo

and ZeroMission promoting a sustainable development for both planet and people. The efforts are concentrated to a community of small-scale farmers in Cochabamba, Bolivia. In addition to climate benefits, tree planting contributes to an increased income for the farmers and improves biodiversity in the important Amazon region.

To Binny, this subject is of utmost importance: “The concept of sustainability, and continually striving to reduce our impact on the environment, is a core value we have here at Downtown Camper, and to me personally. It is of high importance to me that we monitor all aspects of food use and waste. We in the kitchen have a focus of minimising food waste by consistently updating and monitoring our purchasing and preparation routines, as well as planning menus accordingly. The vast majority of our food waste is transformed into renewable energies like biofuel.”

His international experience makes him a perfect fit as the creative mastermind in Campfire - the menu is made up of an eclectic mix of familiar and unfamiliar dishes inspired by different food cultures around the world. The offering on the menu this summer ranges from classic Swedish seafood, to Mediterranean favourites and fastfood from the East. Discover dishes like the Fish & Seafood Casserole, the Flank Steak ”Maître d’Hôtel” with parsley and lemon butter, and purely plant-based alternatives like the gorgeous Edamamer with chilli and ginger, and the Fresh Falafel ”Mid East” Salad. Almost everything on the menu is prepared on the charcoal grill – a beautiful way to cook food to preserve taste and nutrients. It’s simple and natural, no fuss: food you can understand, that brings a feeling of recognition yet in the way it’s prepared, surprise.

Get Active OUR TOP PICKS

Every day there’s something new to explore together with us at Downtown Camper.

Check out all the free activities on the opposite page, or see below, two of our favourite activities that you as a guest can take part in.

DC Yoga

Swim n’ Run

Thursdays at 08.30 & Fridays at 16.00

Wednesdays at 16.00

Hey yogi, check this out. Now you can enjoy fun and energising yoga in The Nest at Downtown Camper every Thursday and Friday. We will be hosting a series of yoga classes featuring our own yoga guru aka authorised yoga instructor, Therese, and the class is free of charge - all you have to do is sign up at least 24 hours before and we’ll hold a yoga mat for you. What better way to start your day, eh?

Spending summer in the city requires the right approach: Keep your head cool and let’s go for a Swim n’ Run! We’ve decided not to run in circles anymore and now we’re taking aim at one of Stockholm’s many beaches, Smedsuddsbadet. Join the DC crew on a fun city run and cool off in the blue waters by Kungsholmen.

The Swim n’ Run activity takes you on one of the most scenic routes of the city and with our dedicated runners, you’re in good company.

This yoga class will rid you of any stress, and you will find yourself in a supportive community, a space of exploration and inclusiveness. Hatha yoga translates to ”discipline of force” in Sanskrit and it is perhaps the most popular of all the yoga disciplines. A relaxing workout with a focus on breath, posture, and meditation. We move our bodies slowly and deliberately into different poses / asanas

and mix several types of exercises. The session suits all levels of yogis: We will stretch and strengthen your body, leaving you feeling empowered, focused, and balanced. Time is given for introspection and relaxation.

Our yoga instructor Therese has long experience of teaching yoga, and she will guide and support you through all movements during this session.

The yoga class is held in the relaxing and airy facilities of The Nest every Thursday and Friday. This activity takes around one hour and we finish off with some breathing exercises and time to wind down.

Anyone can join, we will adapt the level to the group and previous experience. Sign up with the contact details on the opposite page. In collaboration with @lightbodyyoga.se.

We’d like to think; if you haven’t been to Stockholm in the summer, you haven’t been here at all. Our capital springs to life with lush greenery scattered in between the ocra-coloured buildings and various bridges.

Although Downtown Camper is located in one of the most urban areas of the city, nature is never far away. We have selec-

ted our very favourite running route for this activity, and our destination is one of Stockholm’s most popular beaches, Smedsuddsbadet, where you can choose between white sand and cliffs. The beach is located in Kungsholmen, and we promise you - the route is stunning with spectacular views of Stockholm.

Our colleagues will adapt the pace to suit the group, so whether you’re looking for a quiet jog or a high-pace sprint, that’s what we’ll do. The run is about 5 km and the activity takes about one hour, warm-up and stretching included. The DC runners crew will bring extra water to drink during the run.

No need to sign up in advance, just come down to the lobby at the time of the event. Let’s go Swim n’ Run this summer, you won’t regret it.

Do the Plogga Challenge Start your day like a hero; a proper boost of confidence for body, mind and soul! Grab a Plogga bag from the lifestyle desk in the lobby, and go for a treasure hunt. Try to pick as much rubbish from the streets as you can fit into your bag. Once your bag is full, bring it back to the hotel and hand it in: You will now be able to claim your awesome reward; a Downtown Camper tote bag with beautiful body care products from our own line Downtown Mist. Happy hunting!

The Sustainability Guide 12 LIFEHACKS FOR A LIVING PLANET

It can be tricky to navigate the “new” reality knowing that we have to change our ways to keep global warming down to a minimum. But be lost no more! We spoke to Naturskyddsföreningen who are experts at this stuff, and turns out, there are several easy ways to adopt a sustainable lifestyle with quite a small effort. So here you go; a shortlist of the very best things you can do on an individual level to minimise your environmental footprint and become a proper modern person, fit for the 2020s. Let’s go!

Be nosy As a consumer, you have the ultimate power to impact brands and retailers. Be curious and well-informed; ask questions to show that you care about their ethical and environmental policies. Also ask if there are available spare parts for the product you consider purchasing - if the retailer offers spare parts, they probably have a more circular and sustainable attitude. And if your newly-purchased item breaks, send it back immediately and have the vendor repair it for you. Simply put, shop with care for people and planet.

More bang for the buck Buy stuff with a good second-hand value. The biggest environmental impact is at production level, so put your things to good use and make sure they get a long life. Think circular: A basic principle is to make sure the stuff you buy can be sold again once you get tired of them, and shop second hand if you can. Support your local community, make your favourites last longer, and use the services of skillful shoemakers and tailors.

Streamline your closet Would you pay 500 sek for a sweater you will wear only once? You probably have stuff in your closet that you never really use, and you’re not alone. Reclaim control of your wardrobe – tag your clothes and make a note every time you use it.

Could it be that it’s a better idea to buy something a bit more expensive / high quality that you will use often, instead of fast fashion that you will only use once or twice?

Less energy, more fun The rising energy prices made many of us consider our use of electricity. Thankfully, there are many ways to cut costs and this is an area where you can make a huge difference whilst saving loads of money! Energy production stands for almost a third of global emissions, so if you choose energy from

renewable sources you’re half way there. Did you know that the electricity price goes up and down depending on the time of the day? Take control, make it a sport to use as little as you can, and just imagine all the fun you will have for the money you save. You can follow your efforts and progress on the bills, or why not invest in a monitor to follow your energy use in real time?

Let’s calculate!

Some numbers for you: The consumer-based emissions are on average nine tons Co2 / person and year. Five of which are from consumption. If we are to stop at 1,5 degrees global warming (the target set in the Paris agreement), we have to arrive at one ton / person and year. You get our point, something has to be done, so why wait? Calculate your emissions in a climate calculator, and see where you as a person / household can make the biggest change. Is the secret to your sustainable lifestyle to take the train instead of the plane, eat more plant-based, or shop second hand?

Talk about it Become a role model. Create a new environmental habit and see how you can change attitudes in your inner circle of people. Remember, word of mouth is the most effective and credible promotion. If you want to do more, talk to your local community and be a force to be reckoned with.

Is your building renewing their electricity supply contract? Push for a green option!

Sharing is caring Do as you do when you stay in a hotel, and share things with other people. Try one of the many peer-to-peer services available today. Pinning up some new shelves on the wall? Rent a screwdriver.

Invited to a wedding, nothing to wear? Rent a designer dress. And honestly, why buy an expensive car if you can rent one across the street when you need it?

Every bite matters If you can’t skip the beef altogether – choose a local, free-range or eco-labelled meat from animals that graze out in the open. Free-range cattle actually contribute to an open cultural landscape, by maintaining important biotopes for other species, and this has a positive impact on the biodiversity. If you can skip the meat, why not have a fresh veggie barbeque? There are thousands of yummy recipes and tips out there, and with a tasty BBQ sauce it’s every bit as delicious as steak - and so much more nutritious.

No ticket to ride You don’t need a ticket to have an adventure. There are over 5000 natural reserves in Sweden, all of which are contributing to the protection of wildlife and nature. If you want to experience Sweden’s most precious natural environments, steer your steps in the direction of a National Park; we’ve got no less than 30 of them in this country! Why not start with Tyresta, just south of Stockholm? It’s the largest old-growth forrest this side of Dalälven.

Not enough options? Do it yourself!

Sometimes what’s on offer in the stores is simply not good enough. Time to take matter into your own hands and - while you’re at it - learn something new. Like baking your favourite bread for example. In Sweden, there are loads of good, organic, and locally produced flour on the market, and baking is extremely hip at the moment: During the pandemic, there was a huge surge in people who started baking and selling online. And to be honest; what tops warm, freshly baked bread?

Check your investments Do you know who is using your money? The financial industry makes it possible to directly or indirectly support industries that are far from sustainable. You could, through your savings, be supporting a huge environmental culprit without knowing about it. Demand transparency from your banker and make sure you invest in sustainable and ethical industries and companies. It’s as simple as this; if no one invests in the baddies, they will eventually cease to exist.

Dive into a new world Get to know the world around you - read a book about bugs! There are loads of awesome options and here’s a shortlist for you: “Notes From A Summer Cottage” by Nina Burton, “Extraordinary Insects” by Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson, “The History Of Bees” by Maja Lunde, and “The Garden Jungle”

by Dave Goulson. By learning more about all the little critters that share our planet, you will widen your own horizon and have a new perspective on just how much we depend on them for our own survival. These books offer moments of recognition, awe, and not to mention - fits of giggles!

A warm thank you to Naturskyddsföreningen for helping us out with this awesome guide.

The Nest The Nest is no ordinary retreat. It has been designed to boost you at a stand-alone level, with a very modern approach to wellbeing - no hushing, no pointing fingers, no fuss. This is a place where you can be yourself and kick back on your own terms while admiring the city from above.

Aching limbs after a day of exploring the city? Take the lift to the top and discover The Nest: An urban retreat and a must-see for all guests.

Leave behind the distractions of digital screens and busy traffic, embrace the vibe and discover a whole new take on wellness. Step into the sauna, shaped like a bird’s nest. Lather up in the experience showers, then head outside to the pool for a cold drink and some serious chill. Soon you will be ready for another day.

Wellness on your terms The ”spa world” can feel a bit intimidating to many of us: “Do this, do that, and keep your voice down”.

Basically, very far from how most of us want to retreat, right? The Nest offers a fresh approach to wellness.

The guiding thought behind the concept is to encourage a sustainable lifestyle, one that you can actually keep up with.

Today, we live in a digital world where we deal with loads of unnatural stress factors that affect our health and the way we socialise with others.

People start to become aware of the importance of taking better care of themselves; to minimise screen time and focus on the meaningful relationships in life. The Nest offers an including, laid-back and utterly stand-alone experience - a new generation of wellness.

Do it yourself There are no traditional spa treatments in The Nest. Instead, the offering has been shaped to encompass sustainability, education and longterm wellbeing. Hence, the focus on DIY treatments, where the idea is to

equip you with the know-how to best take care of yourself and your skin a knowledge that can be applied and used long after you leave the hotel.

Our products come from holistic body care brand Moonsun Organics as natural as it gets.

It only gets better with time Another important thing to remember is that the tempo in The Nest will increase throughout the day. Visit early if you are looking for some peace and quiet. The music plays softer, and there are fewer people in the retreat. As the evening approaches, the music shifts to an ambient pool club vibe as the adjacent cocktail lounge opens. It’s the perfect time and place for an aperitif in the company of good friends.

House Rules Welcome to The Nest - a place for new experiences and inspiration. Togetherness, wellbeing and fun is our focus here and hence, we encourage a mobile-free environment. You are not allowed to talk on your phone, but if you want to take a picture as a memory to keep from your visit, you are more than welcome. Discover flavours from around the world on our drinks menu, meet new and old friends, and enjoy great music to magical views from the top of Downtown Camper. Children are amazing, but up here, they are not our primary focus - we have other spaces in the hotel where kids can be kids. This is a place for adults to socialise and regain energy. Young adults from 16 and up are welcome to visit The Nest.

How to book As a hotel guest, you always have priority in The Nest. You also have a discount on the admission fee, but don’t forget to pre-book your visit.

Towels, bathrobes and slippers are provided - just bring your swimsuit.

At Downtown Camper, we offset the emissions from all the meat we buy, through tree planting. The efforts are concentrated to a community of small-scale farmers in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The project contributes to an increased income for the farmers and improves biodiversity in the important Amazon region - with super climate benefits as a result. Cool, huh!

In collaboration with ZeroMission and Plan Vivo.
