LOCATION:
The Grand Hotel is situated in beautiful Saltsjöbaden
in Stockholm's archipelago, just 20 minutes from the city of Stockholm
by car. Alternatively, the 20 minute train ride from Slussen takes
you through spectacular residential areas and magnificent scenery,
arriving at the seaside in Saltsjöbaden.
The
hotel has a rich history, beginning with a splendid inauguration
hosted by King Oscar II in 1893. KA Wallenburg was the visionary
who turned his dream into a reality after a trip to Monte Carlo.
Saltsjöbaden was to become the perfect recreational site
for a modern society, an oasis to return to in summer, winter,
spring or autumn. The railway from Stockholm was also built at
that time to provide hardworking Stockholm residents with a fast
route to the seaside and the fresh salty air of Saltsjöbaden.
ACCOMMODATION:
All
of the hotel's 105 rooms, of which 4 are Junior suites, are tastefully
decorated in their own individual style. Many of our rooms have
wonderful views of the harbour and the water. The peaceful surroundings
just by the water help our hotel guests to relax, something our
customers really treasure, to wake up in the early morning hour
and listen to the birds singing or just take a big breath of the
fresh air.
DINING: The
right combination of food and wine can create an unforgettable
culinary experience. Guests at our restaurant, the French
Dining-room, not only enjoy the food, they have a spectacular
view of the harbour with all the sailing boats as well.
Whether you are holding a wedding reception, a ball, a 50th
birhday party, a launch, a Christmas party or an afternoon
BBQ in the park, the hotel is designed to accommodate any
occasion, especially those that require a special touch. Moor
your boat in the harbour, have a glass of champagne in the
park and then sit down to a meal in the restaurant. There
you can feel the true 'Saltsjöbaden' spirit.

Conferences are no longer a series of endless seminars and workshops.

focus on building relationships strengthening ties and recharging
the batteries of their employees.

its participants can be invaluable to a company's future. The
