- Great location, steps from museums and historic sites
- Grand, glamorous ambiance
- Michelin-starred restaurant
- Stately rooms with modern electronics
- Many rooms have balconies and harbor views
- Top-notch fitness center and spa

Cons

- Single Rooms are tiny
- Flat-screen TVs are on the small side
Bottom Line
The historic Grand Hotel is one of Stockholm's grand dames, complete with gilded accents and a high-profile clientele. Built in 1874, the hotel boasts spectacular harbor views, and a great location near multiple museums and tourist attractions. Stately rooms have flat-screen TVs with premium channels, and some come with extras like separate deep soaking tubs and balconies. But be sure to upgrade to at least a Classic or Superior Room (215 or 270 square feet, respectively): Single Rooms are teensy tiny by American standards, measuring around 160 square feet.
