"Few hotels are more deserving of the sobriquet grande dame than the century-and-a-half-old Grand Hôtel Stockholm, where I slept in the Ingrid Bergman suite: Wandering around the cheerful, airy space I’d stop periodically to gaze at a black-and-white portrait of the legendary actor hung beside a window that framed a view of the Royal Palace; I was staying in close proximity to two flavors of royalty. The nearness to greatness applies not only to the hotel’s patrons but also to its extraordinary cuisine. The acclaimed Swedish chef Matthias Dhalgren operates two of its restaurants, including the two-year-old Michelin-starred Seafood Gastro, which focuses on Nordic flavors. I lost count of the number of courses, but the sheer bounty of beautifully plated confections involving fish maw and langoustine claw and other briny mysteries bordered on psychedelic. I still think too of the alfresco octopus salad and Sancerre I ate at Grand Soleil, and even the lovingly prepared overnight oats that room service brought me while I looked out at the bright waterfront beneath Bergman’s watchful gaze. From $420. —Jesse Ashlock" - CNT Editors

"Dating from 1874 and perfectly sited opposite the Royal Palace, this is Stockholm style at its most grand: a hotel with a meticulously preserved ballroom modelled on Versailles’ Hall of Mirrors, bedrooms decorated with classic furnishings and Italian marble baths, and suites that can span five rooms including salons and drawing rooms. Service is described as impeccable; for a contemporary alternative guests can book Deluxe or Executive Suites in the adjoining Burmanska Palatset; breakfast is served in the Cadier Bar and the Grand Veranda with panoramic city views; and dinner can be taken at the decadent MICHELIN-Starred Seafood Gastro where Nordic seafood is showcased." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Located in Stockholm, this opulent property boasts high ceilings, intricate columns, and delicate crown moulding. With its art nouveau architecture, the Grand Hôtel embodies luxury and glamor akin to The Grand Budapest Hotel's early heyday."
"This Scandinavian beauty boasts one of the strongest and most stable economies in Europe. Sweden also happens to be the perfect country where you can watch one of nature’s greatest spectacles—the Northern Lights—or stay up all night under the midnight sun."
