context_page_description: Lady Hutton is a former luxury yacht built in 1924 at Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in Kiel, Germany. She has now been converted to a hotel and restaurant ship, riding at anchor at the Riddarholmen in Stockholm since 1982. In addition to its size and proximity to the old city, much of her fame is tied to Barbara Hutton, for whom the ship is named.
context_section_description: Begun in 1980, the renovation as a hotel for business travelers and a restaurant ship was completed in 1982. Most of the rooms or cabins are comparatively small. The vessel includes meeting facilities for up to 20 people and a Finnish sauna. The yacht is registered as the Lady Hutton, and this name appears on the stern, but the name on the prow is Mälardrottningen (the Queen of Lake Mälar). And Barbara Hutton's name is used once again, as the ship is renamed Lady Hutton.
  Since September 1982, the yacht has been docked at Riddarholmen in Stockholm. It is owned by the family company Mälardrottningen Holding AB; "Mälardrottningen" has been a nickname for the city of Stockholm since the end of the 1800s.
  The lounge is glass-floored, so that the guests can view the engine room below.  The Captain's Lounge has the best view, overlooking city hall. The 59 eccentric rooms are generally described as "tiny."  On the other hand, one writer notes that parents traveling with their children will probably opt for separate rooms for their offspring.  And sleeping in a floating palace is proferred as a unique way to calm them down.
  The hotel has conference rooms which will hold up to 20 guests.  Meals are said to be relatively expensive at the gourmet restaurant.
  A positive attraction is its central location.  It combines easy access with ample parking, and is just a brief jaunt to the Gamla stan, the Old Town city core. It is near Stockholm Palace and City Hall where the Nobel Prize award dinners are fêted.
