Named after Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship, the five-star Victory leads the line for the three-hotel Bengtsson chain. Inside, you can hardly move for the colourful figureheads, brass instruments, carved whalebone and model boats. A letter dated 1801 from Nelson to Lady Hamilton complaining of seasickness is proudly displayed in the lobby. The 45 rooms, including 22 doubles and four suites, are named after Swedish sea captains. Downstairs are the sauna, meeting rooms and the Leijontornet restaurant, where part of a medieval city tower was unearthed in the 1980s. The hotel also has four apartments for stays of two weeks or longer.
