Scandic Plaza

Frommer's Review

The massive bulk of this chain-run hotel rises imposingly in the heart of the city, and we think it's a most reliable and comfortable choice for overnighting, without reaching the pinnacle scaled by the Radisson SAS. Actually it opened in 1930 but has been vastly improved and enlarged since that time. The hotel never escapes the "chain format" of its bedroom decor, but the furnishings are first-class and the decoration is tasteful, with well-maintained private bathrooms that come with tub/shower combos. The on-site Restaurant Brazil comes as a surprise with its Latin cuisine. Before dinner, head for the cozy bar, where six exotic cocktails await your selection every evening along with the standard beer and liquors. This is one of the best hotels for families traveling with children, as it offers a playroom with all those games, toys, books, and crayons that kids demand. There's even a wooden train to amuse.
