I prefer staying at or over by the Grand and Ostermalm, when points/money are no object and time permits. If it’s just to get the view, paying to eat/drink there provides the view that many of the hotel’s rooms don’t provide.

One of the best ways to get great value for the money/points when visiting Scandinavia.

I used to use points from an above-mentioned hotel program for the Grand. Last I did it, it was 5k IHG points per night, but that’s nearly 8 year old history. There are still ways to use some loyalty programs’ currency to pay for rooms at the Grand hotel, but only the credit card program and OTA program points allow for a decent room at the Grand, a hotel that is more out of the way from the Stockholm C/Arlanda Express area and Gamla Stan/Old Town than the Sheraton and Clarion Sign..

I was also able to book it with the fourth night free with my Thank You Points so the number of points were quite a bit lower and definitely worth it!

I have wanted to give you an update for some time. Thanks to your posts and GUWonder's posts, I cancelled my reservation at the Sheraton and booked The Grand Hotel. It was as extraordinary as you said!!! I didn't realize until we were there that all the nobel laureates stay there. The breakfast buffet is wonderful, the location is wonderful and the rooms are spacious and grand.

I just got back from a quick two-day trip to your lovely chain of islands, which I always enjoy so much. Lovely days on Waimanalo!
