Lady Hamilton Hotel is one of the Collector's Hotels group's properties in Gamla Stan, set at Storkyrkobrinken 5, a few steps from Storkyrkan, the cathedral, and the Royal Palace. The building is filled with antiques, chandeliers, portraits of Lady Hamilton, model boats and rocking horses, so it feels more like a collector's home than a hotel. Its most unusual feature is downstairs: a small plunge pool built in a converted well from the 1400s, next to a sauna that all guests can use. Corner rooms have windows on two sides over the cobbled lanes, and breakfast is served in a bright bistro. It is the place to stay if you want to wake up in the old town and walk to everything.
Location: the Royal Palace, Stortorget and the Nobel Prize Museum are a couple of minutes away, and the Gamla Stan metro station is close by. The trade-off is old-town living: cobbles, steps and smaller historic rooms.
Who it suits: couples and first-timers who want character over space. Ask for a corner room.
