Stockholm's First Hotel Partners Are Here

Stockholm's First Hotel Partners Are Here
Jul 20, 2026

Stockholm is one of those cities that rewards you for going deeper. The stories behind Gamla Stan's alleys. The light over the archipelago at dusk. The neighbourhood that feels like it belongs to locals only, until someone points you in the right direction.

That last part is what a great hotel does so well. A thoughtful recommendation from the front desk can change a guest's entire stay. But when the lobby is full and every team member is handling three things at once, the question "do you know a good local guide?" can be hard to answer properly.

That is the gap we set out to close.

Two Iconic Stockholm Hotels Are Now Connected to Keyguides

Radisson Blu Waterfront and Radisson Blu Royal Viking have both placed Keyguides Connect QR codes at their properties. Guests who want to explore Stockholm with a certified local guide can scan, browse, and book in just a few steps.

The experience sits alongside everything the hotel already offers. It is not a replacement for the personal touch that makes a great concierge team. It is an additional layer: something the hotel can point guests toward, something guests can discover on their own when the moment is right.

Busy check-in time? A guest who just arrived and wants to book something for tomorrow morning? Heading out from the breakfast room with an afternoon free? The QR code is there when the timing works.

What Guests Find When They Scan

Keyguides Connect is a platform for certified, professional tour guides. The guides who list their services here are vetted professionals, certified through recognized guide associations. They offer a wide range of experiences: historical walks, food tours, photography, family-friendly adventures, specialist themes.

Guests choose the guide, the tour type, and the time. They book directly. It is as close to a personal recommendation as you can get without having one in hand.

What This Means for the Hotels

Hotels that offer great local connections keep guests talking long after check-out. A guest who had an unforgettable afternoon with a local guide leaves a different review than a guest who wandered around on their own and found the same tourist spots.

Adding a Keyguides QR code to your property is a small thing with a noticeable effect. It extends what your team already does: pointing guests toward experiences worth having. And it works on the days when the team is stretched thin, when the front desk queue is long, or when a guest is simply the type who prefers to discover things at their own pace.

Radisson Blu Waterfront and Radisson Blu Royal Viking are our first Stockholm partners. We look forward to growing this list.
