Hotel Rival
Sweden
Hotel Rival stands on Mariatorget in Stockholm's Södermalm district, combining 99 guest rooms with a working theatre. The former cinema's history remains visible through film-themed room designs, strong colours and a bistro that retains original green chairs from the old press gallery. Accommodation includes rooms with balconies overlooking the square, with Egyptian cotton sheets and a choice of pillows. Watson's Bar, the Tavern and an Art Deco-style cocktail bar provide several places for food and drinks within the hotel. Performances in the theatre extend the building's entertainment role, while conference rooms accommodate smaller organised gatherings.
