The Grand Hotel offers five room categories, ranging from smallish singles to large Deluxe rooms.
The Facts — For a touch of prestige within walking distance of Stockholm’s best attractions, the Grand Hôtel serves as a convenient and comfortable home base. This architecturally impressive Intercontinental property first opened in 1874 and has been constantly upgraded and renovated.
The Grand’s restaurants include The Veranda, offering a traditional Swedish menu and a popular Smorgasbord, as well as two distinct spaces overseen by leading Swedish chef Mathias Dahlgren, Matsalen, which recently received its second Michelin Star, and the more casual, but excellent, Matbaren (translation, “Food Bar”), which boasts a single Michelin Star.
The Cadier Bar, named for the hotel’s founder, offers a must-experience high tea service as well as a lounge for relaxation and some unobtrusive live music.

Over the past 125-plus years, many of the world’s best-known names have made the Grand their home address when in Stockholm. In his suite at the Grand, Charlie Chaplin chatted with Ingmar Bergman on a visit in 1964. Distinguished guests, heads of state and celebrities have all chosen the Grand as their hotel of choice. The city’s stately dame has even hosted the Nobel Laureates, ever since the first prize was awarded in Stockholm in 1901.
