			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After presenting the essential <a href="http://www.ucityguides.com/blog/2010/06/18/essential-steps-and-7-essential-stops-in-stockholm/">Stockholm sightseeing tips</a>, we can also give you some advice on the best accommodation choices for every style and budget.  Whether you&#8217;re looking for unique design hotels, extraordinary hostels, or prefer the conveniences of an apartment, these are the places to consider:</p>
<p>HOTELS</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ucityguides.com/images/nordic-sea-hotel-stockholm.jpg" alt="Nordic Sea Hotel, Stockholm" /></p>
<p>One of Sotckholm&#8217;s most popular tourist attractions is found inside the <a href="http://www.booking.com/hotel/se/nordic-sea.en.html?aid=314198">Nordic Sea Hotel</a>.  That&#8217;s the Absolut Ice Bar where everything from the walls to the glasses are at below-zero temperatures.  In the hotel rooms everything is much warmer but equally attractive, with a simple contemporary look.<br />
Alternatively, try the <a href="http://www.venere.com/hotels/stockholm/hotel-nordic-light/?ref=851450">Nordic Light Hotel</a>, with arguably the city&#8217;s most stylish interior.  Its rooms were designed to please business and leisure travelers looking for a sophisticated ambience and wishing to stay in the heart of the city.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ucityguides.com/images/nordic-light-hotel-stockholm.jpg" alt="Nordic Light Hotel, Stockholm" /></p>
<p>Another design option is the <a href="http://www.venere.com/hotels/stockholm/hotel-skeppsholmen/?ref=851450">Skeppsholmen Hotel</a>, centrally located but with rooms looking out to the waterfront and greenery.  It&#8217;s the perfect choice for those who prefer tranquility and who wish to escape the bustle of city life.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ucityguides.com/images/skeppsholmen-hotel-stockholm.jpg" alt="Skeppsholmen Hotel, Stockholm" /></p>
<p>Also found on the water&#8217;s edge is <a href="http://www.venere.com/hotels/stockholm/hotel-nacka-strand/?ref=851450">Hotel J</a>.  Although this is a design hotel, it has more of a rustic feel and not the typical cutting-edge décor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ucityguides.com/images/hotel-j-stockholm.jpg" alt="Hotel J, Stockholm" /></p>
<p>Those looking for other charming options should consider <a href="http://www.booking.com/hotel/se/berns.en.html?aid=314198">Berns Hotel</a> which offers two restaurants, sauna, and a popular concert hall and night club.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ucityguides.com/images/berns-hotel-stockholm.jpg" alt="Berns Hotel, Stockholm" /></p>
<p>HOSTELS<br />
Stockholm has two of the world&#8217;s most interesting hostels.  One is <a href="http://www.hb-247.com/aff/ucityguides/sweden/stockholm/41709">Jumbo Stay</a>, a Boeing 747 airplane turned into budget accommodation.  It&#8217;s just a short walk from the airport, making it a fun way to end your visit to the city, and especially convenient if you have an early flight.<br />
The second option for those looking for unique experiences is a stay in a former prison. <a href="http://www.hb-247.com/aff/ucityguides/sweden/stockholm/4319">Langholmen Hostel</a> allows you to stay in the old cells, and offers much more than the typical hostel such as a restaurant, bar, laundry service, bike rental and free wireless internet.<br />
Independent travelers and backpackers may also want to consider <a href="http://www.hb-247.com/aff/ucityguides/sweden/stockholm/3492">City Backpackers Hostel</a> which has been voted one of the top 10 hostels in the world and offers something extra &#8212; a free sauna experience in the afternoon.<br />
Alternatively, check out <a href="http://www.hb-247.com/aff/ucityguides/sweden/stockholm/8385">City Lodge Stockholm</a> which is found right in the center of the city, or see all <a href="http://www.hb-247.com/aff/ucityguides/sweden/stockholm">Stockholm hostels</a> for more choices.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ucityguides.com/images/langholmen-hostel-stockholm.jpg" alt="Langholmen Hostel, Stockholm" /></p>
<p>APARTMENTS<br />
Stockholm is not known for its cheap accommodation, but those not wishing to stay at a hostel can also save by choosing an apartment.  UCityGuides can recommend the <a href="http://www.airbnb.com/stockholm-sweden" target="_blank">Airbnb</a> site, listing over two dozen apartments in the Swedish capital.  A stay at the <a href="http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/11201" target="_blank">Best Part of Stockholm</a> apartment will have the owner welcome you with sightseeing and city life tips, and an excellent location within walking distance to most of the city&#8217;s attractions.  There are a couple of supermarkets down the street and a good café downstairs if you get hungry at any time of the day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seville doesn&#8217;t get the same buzz as other Spanish cities like Bilbao or Valencia, not to mention that of big Madrid and Barcelona.  But that southern Iberian city is a must-go not just in a trip to Spain but in a tour of all of Europe &#8212; it has some of the continent&#8217;s best Mediterranean beaches nearby, as well as the architectural masterpieces that are Granada&#8217;s Alhambra and Cordoba&#8217;s Great Mosque.  The best time to visit is of course the summer and the upcoming months are a perfect time to go, now that the city is no longer just a romantic monument to the past &#8212;  UCityGuides.com has already highlighted its coolest new restaurant Abades Triana with a special <a href="http://www.ucityguides.com/uwards-travel-awards.html">Uward</a>, and now we tell you which are the hottest accommodation choices, whether you&#8217;re looking to go cheap or want to splurge a little (but not a lot):</p>

<p><a href="http://www.venere.com/hotels/seville/eme-fusion-hotel/?ref=851450">EME FUSION HOTEL</a><br />
This hip hotel opened last year in the historic center of the city.  It&#8217;s right next to the ancient cathedral, but the interior is all 21st century.  It&#8217;s a design hotel with a fabulous rooftop swimming pool where you can overlook the city and enjoy a cocktail before a meal at one of the four gourmet restaurants.  At the end of the day you may also recover from hours of sightseeing at the spa or go for a workout at the gym.  Rooms come in different sizes but are all stylishly designed.  Best of all are the reasonable prices for this type of accommodation.  You may book it here: <a href="http://www.venere.com/hotels/seville/eme-fusion-hotel/?ref=851450">EME Fusion Hotel, Seville</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Travelers looking for a classic European destination where prices are still affordable are heading East and a favorite is Budapest.  An already beautiful city has only become more attractive in the last few years, with the opening of stylish hotels and restaurants in its monumental center.  At a time when everyone is looking to save, the Hungarian capital is one of the best choices for this summer&#8217;s getaways, and whether you choose budget accommodation or a more pricy hotel, you can still sleep in style.  Cheap or chic, these are two top stylish choices in Budapest:</p>
<p><strong>CHEAP</strong>: <a href="http://www.hb-247.com/aff/ucityguides/hungary/budapest/29071">HomePlus Hostel</a><br />
Budget travelers can stay in bright, private or shared rooms at this colorful hostel in the center of the city.  Each space has a different look, mostly in red, blue, or yellow tones, and includes a self-service kitchen and lounge area.  Guests also find a convenient laundry service and can stay connected with everyone back home by using the free internet service. From the cool minimalist rooms to the quality of the service, HomePlus Hostel is the ideal choice of budget travelers in Budapest.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ucityguides.com/images/home-plus-hostel-budapest.jpg" alt="Home Plus Hostel, Budapest" /></p>
<p><strong>CHIC</strong>: <a href="http://www.booking.com/hotel/hu/lanchid-19-design.en.html?aid=314198">Lanchid 19 Design Hotel</a><br />
It&#8217;s surrounded by 19th century architecture, but everything inside the Lanchid 19 Hotel is modern design.  Unique design pieces were placed around the minimalist rooms, while the moveable glass façade is just one example of the vast use of glass throughout the space.  It is also glass that covers the lobby&#8217;s floor, revealing ruins of a medieval water tower below.  From the large windows of the 45 rooms and 3 suites are views of the city and the Danube.  The designer-uniformed staff is welcoming, and can direct you to the restaurant&#8217;s lovely garden terrace.</p>
