Umeå, a city of about 120,000 on the Bothnian Bay in northern Sweden, has a long and proud maritime history. Stora Hotellet ("The Grand Hotel") was built in 1895 with funds provided by the local Seamen’s Mission. The building housed both the grandest hotel in town, and the Mission’s own offices and accommodation, resulting in a meeting of two worlds - high society, and even royalty, rubbed shoulders with the captains, sailors and old salts off the ships in the harbour. The parties must have been something else…

”The contrast between the sailors and the high society provided the inspiration for the new interior: foul-mouthed seamen and tea-sipping ladies, sailcloth and velvet, sea-spray and champagne.”

The hotel's restaurant and bar, Gotthards Krog, is named after the first proprietor Gotthard Zetterberg, a veteran of famous Swedish explorer Adolf Nordenskiöld and his 1883 Greenland expedition. The menu itself is a circumnavigation where the best local ingredients meet flavours from classic ports around the globe. Gotthards Krog won the European Hotel Design Award (EHDA) for Best Hotel Restaurant Design in 2014.
