Lady Hamilton Hotel

Gamla Stan


Expect old-style luxury (with modern touches where it counts, such as in the bathrooms). The building dates back to the 1470s, and is packed with antiques and portraits of Lady Hamilton herself. If you’re not a fan of church bells, request a room away from Storkyrkobrinken.
