The Lord Nelson Hotel is an intimate, friendly and pleasant hotel right in the heart of Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town – close to the city centre and all the capital’s sights and attractions. But above all, the hotel contains a unique, private collection of maritime antiques – passionately gathered through the decades by the owner family Bengtsson.
The building dates from the 17th century and is reminiscent of ships from bygone days due to its tall
and narrow structure. At just under six metres wide, this property at 22 Västerlånggatan is
undoubtedly Sweden’s narrowest hotel! During the 17th century the building with its powder-pink
facade was home to Ignatius Mauer, a printer. Together with Göran Helsing he printed the Karl X
Bible (which is part of our collection and is on display in the hotel lobby).
The hotel is named after Admiral Lord Nelson, one of England’s greatest heroes of all time. And this is not a random choice of name: you’ll find reminders of the owners’ love of antiques with a maritime theme throughout the hotel’s interior.
