Creators Inn by Elvine | Sweden.

Ok, so this is kind of old news and one from my ‘bookmark archives’, but it’s too good not to share. Swedish clothing brand Elvine offers free short-term accommodation for visiting creatives at Creators Inn by Elvine. That’s right FREE! As in zero cashola. No hidden fees. I know – AMAZING! The aim with Creators Inn is to promote the local area and give something back to travelling creatives whose presence contributes to a more interesting city, whether they are in a band, DJ, designer, artist, writer, filmmaker etc.

“We have a very wide definition of creators. The reason for coming to town is more important than the title on your business card.”

Creators Innwas founded in Gothenburg in 2008 by clothing brand Elvine and design agency Next Century Modern. The project is constantly evolving, currently located in Stockholm and Gothenburg. You can read more about Creators Inn, check out some of their previous guests or register online for your next free stay.

Images are from their hotel-within-a-hotel concept located within Scandic Malmen Hotel in Stockholm. Quirky vintage meets Scandinavian with a sprinkle of IKEA. Brilliant.

As tomorrow is a public holiday [Australia Day – hip hip hooray] there will be no post on the blog tomorrow. It would be very un-Australian of me to blog on such a day. Instead I shall spend my time on the beach going for many swims, having a BBQ, drinking beer, eating lamingtons, playing two-up etc. Meet you back here on Thursday morning, ok? Sweet as a nut.
