Grand Hôtel Stockholm

Every Nobel laureate since 1901 has stayed at the Grand Hôtel in the days before the ceremony, which means that for one week each December this becomes, by a considerable margin, the most intellectually distinguished hotel on Earth, a claim few other addresses could make with a straight face. The building has overlooked the Royal Palace and Stockholm's waterfront since 1874, watching the city's fortunes rise and fall from the same vantage point throughout. 273 rooms, the two-Michelin-starred Mathias Dahlgren restaurant, and the settled, unchallenged distinction of being the grande dame of Scandinavian hospitality.
