Found this old thread and thought that you might be interested to know that Marriott are scheduled to open their first hotel in Sweden in 2009. The hotel will be situated at Kungsholmen, in the western part of Stockholm City. It will have 270 rooms. The reason I know this is because I will live in one of the apartments being built next to the hotel by Skanska. The managers of the project have told us that Marriott will be the operator of the hotel.
