Stockholm Hotel Awards A Free Suite Stay To Those With Creative Careers

Want a free (and chic) hotel room during your stay in Stockholm, Sweden? If you're a creative—meaning an artist, writer, designer (whether graphic, web, fashion or other) or musician—then the Creators' Inn By Elvine is for you.

A concept from the Swedish fashion brand Elvine, the Creators Inn has taken over a space within the Scandic Malmen Hotel in downtown Stockholm and transformed it into a 3-room suite with interior design and amenities based on answers to two questions:

1. "What are the most important needs of a traveling creator? How do they differ from “regular” guests?"
2. "What would your ultimate room for creators look like? What kind functions, products and services would be provided for the visiting creators?"

The Clarion Sign: An 'Overblown Diorama of the Scandinavian Sensibility'

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: Ostra Jarnvagsgatan 35, Stockholm, Sweden

Scandinavian devotees might very well froth at the mouth over Stockholm’s Clarion Sign hotel — at least if the NYT is to be believed. Declared Stockholm’s biggest hotel, with “550-odd rooms,” the hotel also won Times-er Frank Bruni’s declaration that it’s “quite possibly” the most Scandinavian (based on Bruni’s travels in Norway, Iceland, Sweden, and “Ikea stores in several continents,” that is) — “a sort of overblown diorama of the Scandinavian sensibility.”

But what does that actually mean? Mod Arne Jacobsen chairs and four kinds of pickled herring at the free breakfast buffet, apparently.

Stockholm's Grand Hotel Is In a Holiday Mood

While we waited ever so patiently for Nov. 4th to pass, we hardly noticed it was, uh, November. In fact, it’s sorta-kinda almost Thanksgiving, which means the holiday season is about to infiltrate every last cranny of your life (much like Sarah Palin did the last two months, but with fewer Tina Fey impersonations).

In other words: It’s time to shop. And what better way to celebrate our new “socialist” government than with a holiday to Sweden? (We joke!) If you agree--and we think you should--consider the Grand Hôtel Stockholm (AKA the “official Nobel Prize hotel” since 1901).

The Gray Lady Tells You How to Waste Your Hard-Earned Money

Would you pay $200 or more to stay at a 228-year hotel that once was a brewery, then headquarters for Stockholm's guards (a.k.a., "sausages," earning the building the enviable moniker of "a sausage pot"); next as a jail of sorts, housing thieves and beggars; and later as a temporary hospital during the city's cholera epidemic in 1834, before finally becoming a hotel with no room service and very few individual bathrooms in 1976? The New York Times thinks you should.

WTF Hotel News:: Condi Meets KISS at a Swedish Sheraton

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: Tegelbacken 6, Stockholm, Sweden, 101 23

And we're closing our Friday with this strange news report: Condoleeza Rice hooked up with rock band KISS at a Sheraton in Stockholm:

"I was thrilled," a beaming US secretary of state told reporters Friday after meeting lead singer Gene Simmons and his three band members at the waterfront Sheraton Hotel in the Swedish capital on Thursday night.

The Sheraton in question we're guessing is the main Sheraton Stockholm in the city's central business district. While the hotel's rooms look comfy, Stockholm rock city, it is not.

Snapshot :: The Sheraton Stockholm Looks Comfy

HotelChatter Flickr Pool member Nic Evans dropped in this shot of the Sheraton Stockholm and we have to say, this is the prettiest Sheraton we've seen yet.

The hotel's located in the city's business district and each guest room features the Sheraton Sweet Sleeper(SM) Bed, flat-screen TVs and wired and wireless internet access.

Rates start around $290 which is pricey but the hotel just got a renovation. Of course, you can never judge a book by its cover. While we think the rooms are oh so pretty, a recent guest wrote:

When I checked out (yes, quite early in the morning but still) there was zero personality or hospitality from the staff. Guess I wouldn't object to staying again but there are other Stockholm hotels that would come to mind first.
