An art-nouveau monolith, built in 1912 for the Stockholm Olympics, this hotel has been completely and tastefully modernized. It's on the water across from the Royal Dramatic Theater, directly in front of the quay, where many of the boats leave for the archipelago. It's also only a short walk from the Old Town and the museums on Skeppsholmen. No two rooms are alike, but all are furnished with simple and elegant furniture, offset by white woodwork and hues of moss green and cocoa brown. The Strand restaurant has a sharp, urban feel, with modern, straight-lined furniture and a cool color scheme of stone, earth-brown, and natural greens. An SAS check-in counter for business-class travelers adjoins the main reception area.
