The 345 room Grand Hôtel Stockholm has borne witness to some of the world's greatest achievements. Rich in history and tradition, Grand Hôtel Stockholm dates back more than 130 years and occupies a prime position on the city's waterfront.

The Grand Hôtel is the only hotel in Sweden that is a member of the prestigious "The Leading Hotels of the World".

The hotel's interiors are held to be of such great historical significance that they have been designated as a "Swedish National Treasure", notably the Spegelsalen (Hall of Mirrors), Vinter­trädgården (the Winter Garden) as well as a number of the other original function rooms. The Grand Hôtel is equipped with one of the most modern hotel kitchens in Europe, has an award-winning wine cellar, and a Nordic-inspired Spa, Grand Hôtel Spa by Raison d'Etre.
