Located in the Gamla Stan, or Old City of Stockholm, the Lady Hamilton Hotel is right in the heart of the medieval alleyways and cobbled streets which run between the merchants’ houses, the Royal Palace and the Cathedral. Other attractions nearby include the Nobel Museum, the Riddarholm Church and the Den Gyldene Freden restaurant, listed in the Guinness Book of Records as being the oldest existing restaurant with an unaltered interior. All the shops and nightlife of Stockholm are also within easy reach of this beautiful hotel.
This genteel luxury hotel in Stockholm’s Old Town is steeped in history and has a fascinating past. It dates back to the 1470s when it was three separate buildings. Named after the mistress of Lord Nelson, this building has an old cellar and its own 15th century well which lowered fire insurance premiums even in the 18th century! The well is now used as a refreshing plunge pool in the Spa after guests have indulged in a sauna.
History permeates the rooms of this delightful luxury hotel which is decorated with antique wall cabinets, old aquavit bottles and rustic folk art. Guest rooms are cozy and quiet and are individually furnished with local antiques in keeping with the age of the building. However, 21st century underfloor heating, luxury bathrooms, cable TV and WiFi internet connections satisfy the demands of our modern life.
Due to the unique location of this luxury hotel in Stockholm’s centre, rooftop guided tours can be requested when booking your room. Lasting 1 ½ hours, the professional guides help you on with the full body harness necessary for you to explore the city along the rooftops of the old buildings.
Another not-to-be-missed treat when staying at the Lady Hamilton Hotel is the chance to dine in the Michelin-starred restaurant Leijontornet. It is located in the cellars of one of the old defense towers of the city which adds a great atmosphere to the organic Nordic cuisine. Lighter Swedish fare such as herring platters and salads are served in the Bistro Emma. Two small conference rooms with technical equipment complete the amenities of this luxury hotel.
