Lady Hamilton Hotel

Is it a hotel or a museum? Named after Lord Nelson's beloved mistress, this inn combines both Swedish and English history in a building dating from 1470. It is one of the most atmospheric choices in the Old Town. In 1975, Majlis and Gunnar Bengtsson transformed it into Old Town's most romantic stopover. During restoration, they found a well from 1300 where former residents used to fetch water; guests can now use it for a cool dip. This hotel lies on a quiet street on Gamla Stan, surrounded by souvenir shops and restaurants. Dozens of antiques are scattered among the well-furnished guest rooms, and most rooms have beamed ceilings. The beds (queen or double) are of high quality. Top-floor rooms have skylights and memorable views over the Old Town. You'll get a sense of the origins of this hotel when you use the luxurious sauna, which encompasses the stone-rimmed well that formerly supplied the building's water. The ornate staircase wraps around a large model of a clipper ship suspended from the ceiling.
