The Grand Hotel sits in gleaming splendour on the waterfront, opposite Sweden’s royal palace and Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s old town.
It’s perfectly positioned for a Stockholm city break: a 20-minute journey from the airport (do as the Swedes and take the fast and easy Arlanda Express train, then it’s a two-minute metro ride or five-minute taxi ride if you’re deluged with luggage, as we were).
