Stora Hotellet is a whimsical hotel offering a trip ‘around the world in 23 rooms’. It was originally owned by a ship’s captain who decorated it with exotic souvenirs. He named each room after his favourite ports and explorers (and girls!), and each tells its own story. Extras include five dining venues that range from tapas bar to fine dining.
