TREASURED DESTINATIONS
If you’re a traveller who collects treasured destinations, The Victory is definitely one for your album. In fact, it might prove to be the pride of your collection.
Walk into The Victory from the gracious streets of Stockholm’s famous Old Town, and you’ll be immediately surrounded by maritime artefacts from Nelson’s era. Genuine antiques abound – from figureheads and snuffboxes depicting naval scenes to examples of scrimshaw and an actual original letter written from Admiral Lord Nelson to his famous mistress Lady Hamilton.
So the Victory is a treasure house. Quite literally, actually; a huge hoard of 18,000 silver coins and objets d’art were unearthed in what is now the bistro. And the hotel is also rich in tradition – part of the city’s fortified wall can be seen in the restaurant and the original building dates back to 1640. Today, of course, you’ll experience the best of modern luxuries in this unique ‘collectors’ hotel.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
