With not an ounce of blonde wood and not a single platform bed in sight, the Grand is Stockholm style circa 1874.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on Blasieholmen in Norrmalm, the waterfront property sits steps from the Nationalmuseum and the cobblestone lanes of Gamla Stan.
The rooms
High ceilings, herringbone floors, and Italian marble baths frame sweeping views over Strömkajen harbor toward the Old Town.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Arched stone alcoves and glass-encased flame features surround the subterranean heated pool beneath a curved staircase.
The spa
Nordic treatments include native cranberry body scrubs and traditional Swedish massages beside pine-scented saunas.
Studio and spa suites
A curved yoga studio opens to bay windows, and private spa suites include built-in soaking tubs and saunas.
At the table
Waterfront tables serve traditional Swedish smörgåsbord, and the historic Cadier Bar pours cocktails beneath carved wood paneling.
This gracious grand dame has possibly the best possible address in all of Stockholm, overlooking Strökajen Harbor in the city’s Norrmalm district.
How it began
French chef Régis Cadier founded the hotel in 1874, hosting every Nobel Prize banquet until the late 1920s.
“History also comes alive at the Grand Hôtel, Stockholm’s waterfront grande dame, which first opened in 1874. Today, modern luxury touches every corner of this extravagant hotel.”
