a hotel life - story hotel
This April I took my first ever trip to Sweden and it seemed only fitting that I write a review for ahotellife.com I chose to try out The Story Hotel for size and checked into the inner-city refuge in the heart of Stockholm with my partner in crime Daniel who was there on Urban Outfitters business. The Story Hotel was designed by Swedish arichtects Koncept and opened in 2009. The old building has been stripped back to reveal lots of exposed concrete and many of the old features have been reused in ingenious ways. Think big wooden doors as headboards for example. The've worked with local artists to paste the walls of bedrooms with murals and poems which is kinda cool. The Story Hotel wasn't quite interior perfection but they're definately doing something insteresting and it's well worth a visit even if just for the good food and local retail therapy. Have a look at my 'Must Dos' and 'Must Haves' and the full review here.
