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.
"En underbar vistelse med en historisk touch
Vi hade en fantastisk tid på Akademihotellet! Läget är perfekt – mitt i hjärtat av Uppsala, bredvid universitetet och domkyrkan, och inom gångavstånd från alla sevärdheter. Vi var särskilt imponerade av byggnadens rika historia: framstående forskare bodde en gång här, vilket gav vistelsen en mycket speciell atmosfär.
Hela teamet var exceptionellt vänligt och tillmötesgående – man känner sig välkommen från det ögonblick man anländer. En riktig höjdpunkt: gratis kaffe och te tillgängligt dygnet runt, vilket vi verkligen njöt av, särskilt efter promenader runt i staden. Frukosten var riklig, fräsch och utsökt – med allt man kan önska sig.
Kort sagt: Ett mysigt, historiskt hotell med ett fantastiskt team och många genomtänkta detaljer. Rekommenderas starkt – vi kommer gärna tillbaka!"
