Lord Nelson hotel
The Lord Nelson Hotel is named after the great English naval hero Lord Nelson, who won the battle of Trafalgar against Napoleon. It is housed in a tall, deceptively narrow 17th century building that is reminiscent of an old ship. It was originally 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, which is cosy with friendly reception staff and limited seating. The different floors of the hotel are called the Gun Deck, Middle Deck, Upper Deck, Quarter Deck and Poop Deck respectively. All 29 guest rooms have been named after the model ships displayed within. They are generally small although well appointed. Though individually deisgned, all are decorated and furnished like a ship's cabin. The hotel has a small bistro where breakfast is served. There is also a unique roof terrace, offering magnificent views over the rooftops of the Old Town. Lunch and dinner can be taken at the "Leijontornet," the restaurant of the Victory Hotel - less than five minutes' walk away and part of the same group.
