I recently stayed at Stora Hotellet in Umeå, and it was a truly memorable experience. The hotel is easy to find, with its entrance located right on the corner of the building facing the park. Stepping inside, you immediately notice that this is not an ordinary hotel.
The interior is decorated in a very unique style inspired by ship cabins. My room felt cozy yet adventurous, almost like staying on an old vessel. The bed was extremely comfortable, probably one of the best hotel beds I’ve tried, and I slept very well. I also appreciated the practical details – the room came with a hairdryer and even a clothes iron, which made it easier to freshen up my outfits during the trip.
Each door in the hallway has its own decoration with ships, which adds to the maritime atmosphere. One of the highlights for me was the staircase inside the hotel. It is beautifully designed, with artistic details that give the building a historic and elegant character.
What also makes this hotel stand out is that the interior is connected with a library, a museum, and Umeå Hotel under a large glass roof. This combination creates an open and inspiring space that feels both cultural and relaxing.
Breakfast was good, served in continental style with fresh bread, cold cuts, cheese, and other selections. Everything tasted nice, and the juice was particularly fresh and delicious.
Overall, Stora Hotellet offers much more than just a place to sleep. It combines history, art, and comfort in a way that makes your stay in Umeå very special. I would definitely stay here again.
