The Grand Hôtel is a classic landmark in the centre of Stockholm. The location is perfect and the view over the harbour, Old Town and Royal Palace is much appreciated, both by international and Swedish guests.
The Grand Hôtel has a long and fascinating history. Ever since its opening in 1874, big personalities, well-known as well as not-so-well-known, have come to stay at the hotel.
Today, the Grand Hôtel belongs to an exclusive group of purveyors of goods and services to the Royal Household. It is a distinction that the hotel is very proud of.
The Grand Hôtel has 310 rooms, including 21 suites. No room is like another, and many of the rooms and all the suites have a view over the harbor, Old Town and Royal Palace.
The Grand Hôtel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, which sets a very high standard for membership. The Grand Hôtel lives up to that standard and does everything to meet, and exceed, the expectations of its guests.
Food and drink have always had a central place at the Grand Hôtel. Every day, a large number of people eat and drink in one of the Grand Hôtel's two restaurants, the Grand Veranda and Franska Matsalen.
The Grand Veranda is a popular meeting-place in Stockholm. Here, the hotel's guests, passing tourists and Stockholmers eat and socialize while enjoying a wonderful view over the harbour, Old Town and Royal Palace. The Grand Veranda serves breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the year.
Franska Matsalen, the "French Dining Room", has been around ever since the Grand Hôtel's year of opening, 1874, and the cuisine is as good now as it was then. The annual visits of foreign star chefs are high points which no true epicure would want to miss.
Today the restaurant is run by restaurant manager Jürgen Schaubach and the head chef, Roland Persson.
The restaurant has received a lot of acclaim for the quality of its food and drink, which is prepared in an open show kitchen that creates an exciting backdrop to an exceptional dining experience.
The Hotels Cadier Bar is a timeless bar. In the relaxed environment, experienced bartenders serve drinks from every corner of the world. A selection of bar food is also available from a special menu. The Cadier Bar, named after the hotel's founder Régis Cadier, is a popular meeting-place for the guests of the hotel as well as for discerning Stockholmers. Starting an evening in the Cadier Bar is always a good idea, and so is finishing it there too!
