Throw back to the Summer of 1921 and The Grand Hôtel. This is a lovely old postcard where they have added colour to a black and white photo to make it more alive. As you can see, The Grand Hôtel looked a bit different back then, with its white fasad and exterior details. Another thing that is really special about this postcard, except from the Grand Hôtel, is that you can see the old telecom tower to the left. The tower had about 4,000 telephone wires that went out over Stockholm. At that time there were maybe only 5000 who had a telephone set at home. It is said that these wires were so close together that they could block the sun. There you go, some Stockholm History. #TBT #ThrowBackThursday #GrandHotel #Stockholm #LHW #LeadingHotelsOfTheWorld
