THE AMAZING STOCKHOLM ARCHIPELAGO

Now when the summer is at our doorstep, we would like to take the opportunity to tell you about our archipelago favorites. The proximity to the stunning archipelago, full of outstanding nature experiences and beautiful views, is really one of the greatest advantages of Stockholm. The archipelago consists of over 30,000 islands, so there is something for everyone.

Grand Hôtel Terrace

Grand Hôtel’s favorite open-air restaurants

At Grand Hôtel we have just opened the terrace, with a magnificent view over the water to the Royal Palace. We have put together a list with our favorite summer places in Stockholm. The list includes the noteworthy classical places as well as the hidden gems, all perfect for sunny days and amazing wine and dining experiences, but still compatible with social distancing regulations.

MUSIC, MAESTRO!

Since ancient times, music in different forms has brought us together and in music we can be together even though we are advised to keep a distance. Due to the restrictions, several of Stockholm's best music scenes have changed their ways to reach its audience. Here we are talking about how you can place yourself on the first parquet, free of charge, and meet each other through the music.

Swedish fika: sweet moments of happiness

A good pastry or a good cup of coffee can bring happiness any day. Here, at the Grand Hôtel we serve everything from the Cadier bar's well-known Afternoon Tea with scones and small pastries to the Grand Café's variations of coffee and Italian soft ice cream. But Stockholm offers more than that - something for everyone. Here we list a selection of our favourites, all worth a visit in themselves.
