The Grand Hôtel Stockholm is Scandinavia’s leading hotel and much appreciated intenational meeting place.
The hotel opened in 1874 and has a long fascinating history. The rooms and interiors are unique, as is the hotel’s location in the centre of Stockholm. Our guests live and eat well, take part in conferences and meetings or attend dinners and banquets. Those who once have been at Grand Hôtel generally come back again.
The Grand Hôtel has a long and fascinating history. The hotel was built in 1874 by the Frenchman Régis Cadier and has since been a well-known landmark in Stockholm. The building and its long frontage may look imposing, but it is above all the beautiful rooms and restaurants on the inside that make the hotel that it is. History is written in the walls at the Grand Hôtel. Here, we will try to give you a small sample of everything that could be told about the hotel.
