Hotel Victory (Stockholm, Sweden)

About Hotel Victory

Welcome to the Victory Hotel This personal hotel is an attraction in itself. On display throughout the hotel is a unique, private collection of maritime antiques, passionately selected by the collector himself, the hotel’s founder and owner, Gunnar Bengtsson. This building is also where five workers found Loheskatten, Sweden’s largest silver treasure, on an October day in 1937. The find contained 18,000 silver coins and several silver objects that had been buried here in the 18th century. The historic cellar, including the remains of one of Stockholm’s medieval defense towers, is where the restaurant Leijontornet serves innovative prize-winning Nordic cuisine that originates from traditional Swedish cooking and incorporates an organic approach. We are of course particularly proud that Leijontornet has been awarded a star in the Michelin Guide. The flagship of the Bengtsson family’s private hotel chain in Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town, is named after the HMS Victory, the ship of the English naval hero Lord Nelson.
