Description
Stockholm City Hall (Swedish: Stockholms stadshus or Stadshuset locally) is the building of the Municipal Council for the City of Stockholm in Sweden. It stands on the eastern tip of Kungsholmen island, next to Riddarfjarden's northern shore and facing the islands of Riddarholmen and Sodermalm. It houses offices and conference rooms as well as ceremonial halls, and the luxury restaurant Stadshuskllaren. It is the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet and is one of Stockholm's major tourist attractions.
One of the most impressive rooms of City Hall is the Council Chamber, which is used for the regular meetings and assembles of Stockholm City Council every third Monday evening. The interior of the Council Chamber is absolutely majestic and its 19 meter-high ceiling takes its inspiration from the Swedish Viking Age, with its virtual opening, built in the style of a traditional Viking longhouse. The room is decorated with unique old furniture textiles. The public gallery has room for about 200 spectators to attend the council meetings.
