Grand Hôtel is a five-star hotel in
Stockholm. It was founded by Frenchman, Jean-François Régis Cadier, in 1872. It opened on 14 June 1874 at the same time as the Grand Hotel in Oslo; all the Scandinavian capitals have a major hotel called 'Grand Hotel'. The Grand Hôtel is located next to the
Nationalmuseum and opposite the
Royal Palace and
Gamla stan (the old town). Since 1901, the
Nobel Prize laureates and their families have traditionally been guests at the hotel, as well as several celebrities and world leaders.
