Lady Hutton

Lady Hutton is a former luxury yacht built in 1924 at Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in Kiel, Germany.

Vanadis was purchased by stock tycoon Harrison Williams, renamed Warrior, and steamed on a year-long around-the-world 1926 honeymoon cruise taken with his wife, Mona.

Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton received the vessel in 1930 as a present from her father on her 18th birthday.

[1] The yacht was later slated for scrap, but was purchased by a group of Swedish businessmen who spent more than $2.5 million to renovate her into a permanently moored, floating hotel and restaurant.

On the other hand, one writer notes that parents traveling with their children will probably opt for separate rooms for their offspring, as sleeping in a floating palace is proffered as a unique way to calm them down.
