Creators Inn by Elvine
August 5, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Architecture & Design
In Stockholm a new hotel-in-hotel concept is opening at the Hotel Scandic Malmen called the Creators Inn. The idea was to design a room based on a creative type of person who was visiting Stockholm, catering to their needs through the concepts of function, products and services. The room is split up into three different sections, the local library, the dream study and the relaxing spa. You’re basically given a ton of space in which you can hang out or work, depending upon what your mood is. The rooms even come with a bike which you can ride around town and clothes you can wear in case you don’t have anything clean, how crazy is that?
This feels very in the spirit of Ace Hotel or The Standard, but there seems to be more of a personality to the project. The idea that you can call up a Creative Concierge and ask them to play video games with you is pretty astonishing. Now I’m just curious how much this room goes for…

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.I visited the website a couple days ago. I understood if you applied the stay would be free. But maybe that’s some crazy thinking.
Cheers
great hotel concept, and nice clean room design. love the map on the wall and you cant beat a turntable and some records in the room.

Hello Bobby,
thanks for the post and the kind words. The craziest thing is that’s actually totally free of charge. That’s the main idea with the project – offering free accommodation for visiting creators. Feel free to register here: http://www.creatorsinn.com/index.php/register/

I’m loving the all cork walls. Great bit of inspiration to make my own room look extra saucy.
Awesome post. I definitely need to stay there one day.

The rooms are completely free – so long as they see you as a fitting addition to the project. Apply at their website and MAKE SURE you include the specific dates you want to stay. SO COOL!!
Next time I am in Stockholm, I stay at this hotel! Btw, in Gothenburg, they [Scandic] have a nice concept too — Rubinen. Every room has not only number, but its association with red, e.g Red Square, Che, etc… Neat, modern, Scandinavian.
amazingly, you completely missed the ENTIRE point of Creators Inn. It’s free for traveling creatives, so long as you apply and explain the purpose of your visit. Kind of like, actually doing some good instead of being some bourgeoisie Standard hotel.
I applied to stay last week. Really hoping I get accepted. It’s such a great concept.
Gee Willikers Batman! Awesome living / design space. I especially digg the cacti, the mac, and the Warhol banana. And hopefully there’s some Velvet Underground on that turntable there! Good post!
I love the cork board wall! i think its time for a vaca…
