Stockholm Gay & Lesbian Network

The Stockholm Visitors Board has successfully campaigned in the past few years to raise the city's presence in the gay & lesbian travel market as a premiere destination. I say successfully because the awards and positive media attention have rained down on Stockholm recently, showing that their efforts have paid off... the city was awarded "Favorite LGBT Friendly City" by readers of Edge Magazine, "World Style Capital" by Logo's NewNowNext readers and Sweden was named "The Gay Friendliest Country in the World" by Spartacus Gay Guide. They have also recently released a  beautiful video promoting Stockholm which you can watch by clicking here.
Part of their campaign has been to create the Stockholm Gay & Lesbian Network, which "functions as a network-based partnership cooperating closely with the travel industry in Stockholm and special interest organisations" and promotes three core values of Stockholm: openness, diversity and respect. The Rival Hotel is proud to be a full fledged member of the Stockholm Gay & Lesbian Network and we are looking forward to working together with our partners to keep Stockholm at the top of the lists of the world's gay friendliest cities!
