Charming hotel in the heart of Uppsala's historic quarter
Welcome to Akademihotellet
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 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.

Akademihotellet – with an added touch of luxury
Newly Opened Boutique Hotel – Clasonska gården
Next to Akademihotellet, in the heart of academic Uppsala, Clasonska gården has now opened as an intimate boutique hotel. This historic building has been carefully restored and transformed into an exclusive hotel offering 13 individually designed rooms.
The interiors reflect the many eras the building has lived through, from the 18th century onwards. As a guest, you are invited on a journey through time, where each floor is inspired by a different century and the history of the house is woven into every detail.
Exoticism/Chinoiserie – 18th century
A wind from the 18th century sweeps through the entrance floor, bringing influences from the Far East and leaving its mark on the room´s interiors.
Industrialization/Steampunk – 19th century
The middle level breathes 19th century futurism in the footsteps of Jules Verne with the technological and scientific discoveries of the time, as parts of the room´s stories.
Arts & Crafts – 20th century
A patterned splendor from William Morris and friends meets us on the top floor and brings with it a warm and cosy experience with inspiration from the early 20th century.
