Some clothing companies publish magazines and offer them for free while others provide accommodations to weary travelers in their stylish crash pads. Creators Inn is such a place. Swedish clothing line Elvine, opened it’s first location in 2008 offering “creatives” a free place to stay in Gothemburg. They’ve since expanded to two other locations with one in Stockholm. Both locations in Gothemburg are modest in size but hostel these are not. Designed by Next Century Modern, the rooms are warm, inviting and comfortable. The Stockholm location is situated within an existing hotel and is the most spacious of the three. It’s incredibly difficult to believe that the rooms are free until you discover the reason behind it all. It’s a form of goodwill to up and coming creatives of different kinds, as well as a way to support the local creative community. Creators Inn require all potential guests to explain their reason for their visit. Guests with dealings with local creators are more likely to be invited. It’s a great idea that we wish we would see more of. Thanks wejetset for the great find.
