Stockholm Hotel Scene: Thank You For The Rival Hotel

Where: Mariatorget 3, Stockholm, Sweden, 118 48

Once again, our roaming correspondent Monica Guy is summing up a hotel scene for us. This time, she's checking out hotels in Stockholm. Got a question or suggestion about Swedish hotels? Send it our way.

We can't talk about hotels in Stockholm without talking about the hotel everyone's talking about - the Hotel Rival.

The first thing everyone will tell you is that the Hotel Rival's owned by former Abba star Benny Andersson. He's not the only celebrity to own a hotel - Clint Eastwood owns the Mission Ranch in California, Bono owns the Clarence in Dublin and Cliff Richard has the Arora in Manchester, complete with, er, Cliff-themed rooms. But by all accounts Benny seems to be doing the best job of it.

Anyone who's anyone has stayed at the Rival....we're the exception that proves the rule, although we did peer in through the window.
