Grand Hotel

With its view across the water to the Royal Palace, the classic of classics among Stockholm hotels. The venerable building first opened its doors on June 14, 1874. This is where the Nobel laureates stay when they come to receive their awards in De- cember each year, although celebs and rock stars such as Paris Hilton and Bruce Springsteen are not averse to checking in for a luxury stay as well. The rooms are furnished in traditional style.
