LOCATION
A brand new exclusive hotel on Södermalm in Stockholm – the Rival Hotel. The hotel offers 99 rooms and is Stockholm’s first boutique* hotel. The premises also include a cinema, restaurants, a bakery, a café and a bar & bistro
*Boutique hotels, or lifestyle hotels, form a niche of their own in the luxury/first-class hotel segment without hotel chain affiliations. These hotels have unique identities and highly modern characters, with an average of 86 rooms per hotel. The rooms combine contemporary design with high-tech solutions and their most striking feature is the unique level of service and the genuinely personal customer/guest relations. Examples of well-known boutique hotels include the Sanderson Hotel, influenced by Philip Starck, and One Aldwych in London. Altogether there are no more than 100 boutique hotels in Europe, while 87 new ones, the equivalent of 7,000 hotel rooms, are currently being planned. This represents an increase of 87 per cent on 2002, according to a study by Price Waterhouse.
ACCOMMODATION
The 99 rooms maintain high technical standards, but the unique interior decorations inspired by the hotel’s Stockholm location are just as important as plasma TVs and wireless Internet access.
DINING
The Cocktail bar (with its original art déco interior design), the Bar & Bistro, the Café and the Restaurant are all housed in the same building and serve both hotel guests and local Stockholm inhabitants and sightseers, providing them with a wider range of amusements and new opportunities to see and be seen.
MEETING FACILITIES
The hotel premises also include the classic Rival Theatre recently renovated and equipped with the very latest in multi-media technology. On weekdays, it accommodates 700 guests attending a variety of events and meetings. The premises also include five more conference facilities, while generous foyers outside the theatre itself will provide room for exhibits and mingling. At weekends, the premises are used as a regular cinema and on occasional weekday evenings, the stage may be used for music and other entertainment.
