In 1956, Sweden was the ninth section to join Les Clefs d’Or, however our own association Svenska Hotell Portier Föreningen (SHPF) was founded in 1926, making it the oldest Concierge association in the world. Our concierge members represent some of the best hotels in Sweden, predominately in Stockholm and Gothenburg.
Sweden is a beautiful destination year round, whether you are enjoying the Summer cruises in the Baltic, viewing the Northern Lights in Norrbotten, visiting one of the world’s best restaurants in Jämtland or just enjoying Swedish ‘mys’ (cosiness). Our concierge members and their hotels can really open up Sweden for you to enjoy.
In a country that is sometimes called cold and distant, our concierge offer you the opportunity to warm up instantly to curated ‘smultronställen’ (hidden favourite places) and experience Sweden like a local.
Please also visit our website Svenska Hotell Portier Föreningen to learn more about our association and don’t forget to follow our Instagram feed @SHPF for glimpses of what our beautiful country has to offer.
We look forward to meeting you in our lobbies.
In Service through Friendship,

The Rival Hotel opened its doors in 2003 as Stockholm’s first boutique hotel. With 99 rooms, the hotel is a perfect mix of comfort and modern convenience. Besides the hotel itself, the Rival also houses a popular Café, Bistro, several bars, meeting and event facilities as well as a 700 seat theatre. The theatre was once a cinema (from 1937) called Rival, hence the name of the hotel. This cinematic theme is reflected in the interior design details of the Rival. The Rival Hotel is located on the beautiful Mariatorget square in the trendy Södermalm district, just a 10 minute walk from the historical Gamla Stan. It is also conveniently close to subways, trains, ferries and buses that can transport you through the greater Stockholm area. Rival Hotel is the perfect base from which to explore both the main tourist attractions as well as interesting local sites in Södermalm. Our Concierge Sean Naughton is a Les Clefs d’Or member and keen to help you make the most out of your next visit to Stockholm.
