This charming hotel, named for the famous naval hero Lord Nelson's beloved mistress, is a museum in itself, a dramatisation of both Swedish and English history.

This listed historical building has been around since 1470, at which time it was divided into three separate houses. These were eventually purchased by the merchant Lorens Erdtman, who converted them into a single spacious home for himself.

In 1975 the building was bought by Majlis and Gunnar Bengtsson, who refurbished the property and transformed it into a hotel. At the basement level we have something of a cultural treasure an old well dating back to the 1300s! It was here that many residents of the Old Town fetched their water in those days. Today the well is used by our guests for taking a cool dip.

The Lady Hamilton is part of 3 Hotels in Gamla Stan, a group which consists of Lord Nelson Hotel, Victory Hotel & award-winning Restaurant Leijontornet as well as Victory Conference.
