Gamla Stan Hotels
Gamla Stan, or Old Town, as its name suggests, it is an enchanting warren of centuries-old, low-rise buildings – many of them once merchant houses – mostly painted yellow, red and orange and draped in ivy. Between them run narrow cobbled streets and quiet squares echoing with the sound of water pumps. All the buildings, land development, signs, lampposts, windows and even colours are strictly regulated according to period-specific standards, thus ensuring that Gamla Stan retains its original appeal.
