The Rival Hotel is open in Stockholm!

The Rival is a boutique hotel with it's own cinema located in the heart of Stockholm, Södermalm. The hotel is shaped by the vision of its owner — Benny Andersson — who wanted to recapture the glamour of the hotel from when it original opened as the Aston hotel in the 1930s. In addition to The Rival Theatre there are bars, a bistro, a cafe and a bakery... In short, it’s an ideal meeting place on the city’s most beautiful square, Mariatorget. An exciting choice for business travellers and tourists visiting Stockholm.

In all our rooms we offer wireless
and wired internet access
 

 

99 guestrooms — all individually designed

Our goal has been a happy mix of design and function. At the Rival Hotel, we have no special business rooms or rooms aimed at women travelers. We believe that men and women appreciate the same things: function, beauty, and a few surprises. Should you need to work, the technology in our rooms will meet your highest expectations. Or you could just choose to relax and enjoy the Egyptian cotton sheets, a great CD, or the sound of birdsong from Mariatorget.

We call it “UnRivalled Choice”. Read more >
