Music for hotels and accommodation

Photographer: EyeEm

Get access to music from around the world in just a few clicks. With a Stim music licence, you can create a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere at your hotel or accommodation.

Do you play music in your hotel, hostel or other accommodation? Research shows that thoughtfully chosen music can increase sales and strengthen your brand. To use music legally in a business setting, you need a licence. Stim ensures that the money goes to the people who created the music.

Choose the right licence package for your business

In our shop you’ll find licence packages tailored to different needs. We offer three packages: Mini, Basic and Premium. Premium is our most comprehensive package and covers everything you may need.

If needed, we can tailor the packages to your business. That way you only pay for what is relevant, while knowing you have the right licences in place and are meeting your obligations.

Suitable for establishments such as:

  • Hotels
  • Hostels
  • Inns
  • Campsites

How is the cost calculated? The fee for hotels and other accommodation is based on the number of room nights sold.

Example Klara runs a hotel with ten rooms, all equipped with TVs. The licence fee is calculated based on the number of room nights sold during a given period. When it’s time to report, Klara receives a reminder email from Stim asking her to log in to My pages and submit the figures. Klara’s hotel is open 11 months a year, and this year the rooms were sold for a total of 1,400 room nights. Klara therefore pays for 1,400 room nights.

Where does the money go?

The licence fee you pay is distributed to songwriters, composers and music publishers in accordance with copyright law. Stim is owned by rightsholders and operates as a member-owned economic association with no profit motive.

Together with you as a customer, we help create better conditions for creativity and renewal in Swedish music. Today, Stim represents nearly 100,000 affiliated music creators and publishers.
