LOCATION
This is the Bengtsson family’s first hotel, perfectly situated on the Old Town’s main pedestrian thoroughfare.
ACCOMMODATION
The floors of our hotel are called the Gun Deck, Middle Deck, Upper Deck, Quarter Deck and Poop Deck. Visitors are welcomed in the lobby by Lord Nelson himself; one-eyed, one-armed and somewhat intimidating. It is said that this wooden figurehead of the famous admiral once decorated the prow of a British sailing ship.
All 29 charming rooms in the hotel have been named after the antique ship models displayed within. Just as in our other rooms, the characteristic wooden flooring further contributes to the maritime atmosphere. Don’t miss the unique roof terrace, with a magnificent view over the rooftops of the Old Town.
FACILITIES
The hotel is named after the great English naval hero Lord Nelson, who won the battle of Trafalgar against Napoleon. Here you can stay in a tall, narrow 17th century building that is reminiscent of an old ship. In the 17th century it was inhabited by a printer named Ignatius Mauer who, together with Göran Helsing, was responsible for printing Sweden’s Charles X version of the bible. You can see a copy for yourself, proudly displayed in the hotel lobby.
With a width of barely five metres, the building on Västerlånggatan 22 is without a doubt Sweden’s narrowest hotel and probably the one that most resembles a ship. Memorabilia abounds, with a wonderful sense of the sea. All the items have been carefully collected over the years by the hotel’s owners. The gleam of brass and mahogany set the imagination alight. Every night, the porter makes his rounds and winds up the old grandfather clocks.
