Victory Hotel by Collector's Hotels

Victory Hotel by Collector's Hotels

Victory Hotel by Collector's Hotels sits close enough to Stortorget that coffee at the window comes with a view of the square's cobblestones, and the walk out the door leads straight into Gamla stan, past the Nobel Museum and Riddarholmen Church. Forty-five rooms across five floors carry a design hotel's attention to detail rather than chain-standard furnishing, from bathrobes and flat-screen TVs to showers and the occasional bathtub. The sauna is a genuine reason to come back after a day on cobblestones, and the hotel holds a Green Key certification. Two restaurants, including Leijontornet for local and international cooking, plus a bar for the evening and a buffet breakfast with vegan and gluten-free options covered as standard, mean guests rarely need to leave for a meal. A business center and eight meeting rooms put this on the radar for anyone folding a meeting into the trip, though the leisure traveller who wants a quiet corner and a terrace will find that too. There is no parking on site, so this suits people arriving by train or plane and moving on foot through the old town, not those planning to keep a car. Staff default to English, wheelchair access runs to an elevator that reaches every floor, and pets and extra beds are both possible for a fee. What lingers is the contrast between a design-led interior and the historic streets of Gamla stan just outside the door. Steps from Stortorget and Gamla stan, this 45-room design hotel pairs a sauna and Green Key certification with two restaurants, including Leijontornet. There is no on-site parking, so it works best for guests moving through the old town on foot rather than by car.
