Category: Hotels

Address: Lilla Nygatan 5, Stockholm,

Description: Welcome to Victory Hotel, where Swedens largest silver treasure was found! This exclusive boutique hotel leaves no visitor unmoved. The flagship of the Bengtsson familys private hotel chain in Stockholms Old Town, this hotel is named after the English naval hero Lord Nelsons flagship, the HMS Victory. No one can step inside Victory Hotel without noticing its fantastic collection of nautical antiques. Wherever you go you are surrounded by intriguing pictures, ship models, figureheads, dolls, etc., each with its own story to tell. On October 15th 1937, construction workers uncovered part of a silver treasure which would later reveal itself to be the largest ever found in Sweden. The find amounted to more than 18,000 silver coins, along with items of silver plate, that had been buried some time during the 18th century. The Lohe treasure, valued at more than 100 million SEK, can be viewed at the Coin Museum just a short distance away. No one really knows who buried the treasure, or why. The only certain thing is that it once belonged to the Lohe family, members of the Swedish nobility. Adjacent to Victory Hotel is the renowned and awardwinning restaurant, Leijontornet (the Lion Tower), named for part of a 14th century fortification wall that is on display in the main dining room.
