Two Historic Hotel Experiences in the Heart of Uppsala.
Stay at a hotel in central Uppsala where history meets the present – between the cathedral and the castle, at Akademihotellet and Clasonska gården.
Akademihotellet is a cosy and personal hotel located in Uppsala’s historic cultural quarter, on the ridge between Uppsala Cathedral and Uppsala Castle. Here, modern hospitality blends with living history. The building once served as Uppsala’s first student residence, known as Gubbhyllan.
The Classic Hotel Wing – 42 Charming Rooms Inspired by the 1930s
Stay in warmly furnished, individually designed rooms inspired by the 1930s, the year the building was constructed. Many rooms offer views of the Pelle Svanslös (famous fairytale cat Peter-No-Tail) neighbourhood and the cathedral towers. In several of our Rooms with History, guests can explore Uppsala’s cultural heritage and learn about the people who have shaped the city.
This part of the hotel also features four bright conference rooms, an inviting lounge bar overlooking the cathedral, and recurring cultural and historical events.
Clasonska gården – 13 Unique Suites with History in the Walls
At Clasonska gården, one of Uppsala’s oldest preserved buildings, an exclusive hotel experience awaits. The carefully restored property offers 13 individually designed suites – from intimate rooms to spacious suites – spread across three floors.
Each floor reflects a century of the building’s long history: the 18th century, the 19th century, and the early 20th century. Guests enjoy views of Uppsala’s cultural landmarks, including the castle, the cathedral, Övre Slottsgatan and Odinslund.
Welcome to two distinctive hotel environments in the heart of Uppsala – where history is part of the experience.
"A wonderful stay with historical note
We had a great time in the Academyhotellet! The location is perfect – in the heart of Uppsala, right next to the university, the Dom and in the nearby run to all views. The rich history of the house has impressed us particularly: This is where important scientists once lived – that gives the stay a very special atmosphere.
The whole team was exceptionally friendly and premature – you feel welcome from the first moment. A real highlight: free coffee and tea around the clock, which we enjoyed very much, especially after walks in the city. The breakfast was rich, fresh and very delicious – with everything the heart wants.
Conclude: A cozy, historic hotel with a great team and many lovely details. Clear recommendation – We're happy to come back!"
