Official start of construction ceremony held and this press-release sent out by the City:
http://stockholm.se/-/Nyheter/Bygga--Bo/Byggstart-for-Stockholms-mest-glittrande-byggnad/
Den 5 november togs första spadtaget till Victoria Tower, som med sina 120 meter och 33 våningar kommer att bli en av Stockholms högsta byggnader. Victoria Tower byggs intill Kistamässan i Kista och blir med sitt glittrande intryck ett nytt inslag i Stockholms stadssiluett. Byggnaden kommer att inrymma 300 hotellrum och 5.000 kvadratmeter kontor. Invigningen av hotellet är planerad till september 2011.

Link to protocol of Exploteringsnämnden's (yup, it means ~"exploitation-board". not a very nice name in Swedish either) meeting wherein the project was approved:

If City parliament to reject what the Exploateringsmänd has approved it would be extremely unusual as all the parties voted for it.
Quote from the main investor:
"Men bygget er dimensjonert slik at det kan bygges på 54 meter til…"
my translation:
"But the building is dimensioned so that it can be extended by another 54 meters..."
So it might reach 174m in the future
Old version had mostly hotel but also 10fl offices and a bar up top! Status of this not known in this latest version.
This one is a hotel tower about 10km from the Central Station, out here in my suburban burough of Kista. It'll be part of the new KistaMässan convention/exhibition center, but is a separate project from it even thought they'll be physically connected, it looks like. I guess they split things up so if one got held up the other could go ahead without waiting.
here's a map of part of Kista, with other highrise-plans marked. The Victoria Tower is the light blue one on the right.
A previous version was at 140m going to be Stockholm's tallest, and construction was supposed to start in 2008 but with the economic crash the plans are now on hold waiting for things to turn upwards. Considering the location and financial/political backing for it I'd be surprised if it, or a close variant, didn't get built eventually.
