Metro Station Hötorget, a glimpse of the 1950s in Stockholm.  The metro station opened in 1952 under the name Kungsgatan. In 1957 it was changed to Hötorget. The station is a good example of a preserved architecture from the beginning of the metro in Stockholm.

The station has a very high conservation value with well-preserved 1950s architecture, including original tiles in seven different shades of blue (from the now-closed well-known factory Upsala-Ekeby), cast original signs with relief letters, and the well-known red-orange trash bins that used to be at all stations/stops. 

During 2024–2025, an extensive restoration of the platform room took place, where many parts have been restored to the original 1950s design. In connection with this work, four advertising signs from this period have also been reproduced, which have been installed together with the original station name signs "Kungsgatan" in the middle of the track walls.
