Creator's Inn, Stockholm...

Elvine and Scandic Malmen offer visiting creators free accommodation in Stockholm

"The Gothenburg-based clothing label Elvine and the hotel Scandic Malmen launch the hotel concept ‘Creators Inn’ in Stockholm on the 1st August. The Creators Inn is the worlds first “hotel-in-hotel” complete with its own design and unique details.

An overnight at Creators Inn offers all the standard features and comfort associated with a modern hotel but the crucial difference is that you as a guest do not have to pay anything. The aim with Creator’s Inn is to promote the local area and give something back to travelling creators whose presence contributes to a more interesting city, whether they are in a band, DJ, designer, artist, writer etc.

– “We are your friend. is Elvine’s core ideal, and as a friend it offers its guests, obviously shelter. It feels great to extend our hospitality and be able to take the concept on to Stockholm,” says Johan Johnsen, marketing director for Elvine.

Potential guests from within Sweden or the world are able to apply for short-term accommodation at www.creatorsinn.com. A selection of room guests throughout the project will be documented and presented on the website.

Read more about the Creators Inn by Elvine at: www.creatorsinn.com and see past guests to the Gothenburg Creators Inn. Stockholm is the first time this project is housed within an existing hotel."

wooden beams...

this house looks like my second dream house (please refer to the first). soft, romantic and casual, a house you could grow old in. the best feature hands down are the raw wooden beams. they are so delighful---


if it were my house i wouldn't have bothered with those colorful pillows (eek)---

on another note, these window boxes are incredible. something like this would help my cottage's curbside appeal immensely---
