World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Stockholm - Sweden Travel Guide http://bit.ly/H1YEQ6 Hotels in Stockholm - Sweden Berns, Grand, Lydmar Hotels The perennial appeal of Stockholm as a visitor destination means its hotel stock caters to a full spectrum of tastes and budgets. The central districts of Gamla Stan (the Old Town), Södermalm and Norrmalm tend to draw the most interest among visitors. Prices in hotels in Stockholm go down by as much as 50% in summer (thanks to the decline in business travel over the period) and at the weekend in winter, so it is always worth checking whether a hotel has a special offer on. The hotels below have been grouped into three pricing categories: Luxury (over Skr2,500) Moderate (Skr1,200 to Skr2,500) Cheap (up to Skr1,200) These prices are the lowest standard rates for a double room in winter, including sales tax. Breakfast is usually included, unless otherwise stated. Sales tax at 12% is automatically added to the bill. Tipping of porters is common, although tipping for room service is not expected. Berns Hotel =========== The supremely trendy Berns, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2009, is one of the most exclusive places to stay in Stockholm. The 82 rooms marry modern Scandinavian design with the beauty of the building's belle époque architecture. There are fluffy white bathrobes, CD players, satellite TV and hairdryers in all rooms. The hotel's restaurants and bars have undergone a Terence Conran-aided makeover. The Clock Suite is legendary and a favourite of younger, trendier celebrities. Grand Hotel ========= The 310-room Grand Hotel has long been the most glamorous place to stay in the city and -- justifiably -- has been rated as one of the world's great hotels since it opened in 1874. There's an excellent location on the waterfront, with views back across the Old Town. The 21 luxurious suites are popular with visiting celebrities and royalty - famous past guests include Theodore Roosevelt and Douglas Fairbanks. Lydmar Hotel ========== Set in a listed building across from the Royal Palace, the Lydmar is a design-led boutique championing homeliness, style and discreet service. This 46-room hotel is actually a reincarnation of another Lydmar Hotel, hugely popular in the 90s and run by the same people. With a fresh location, and an even fresher classic-meets-contemporary style, the new property is somewhere big on elegance, ease and reputation. ======================== Stockholm, Stockholm Museums, Stockholm Tourism, Stockholm Travel Guide, Stockholm Vacation, Stockholm Attractions, Stockholm Tours, Stockholm Hotels, Stockholm Restaurants, Stockholm Transport, Sweden Tourism, Sweden Travel guide, Sweden Vacation , Sweden == Stockholm - Sweden Travel Guide, Tourism, Vacation, Attractions
