When we describe a hotel as being interesting, we mean it as the ultimate compliment. People tend to use the word ironically or with a raised eyebrow. Not us. All we can ask from a hotel, other than having good service, is that it\u2019s interesting \u2014 that it catches and continually holds your attention.<\/p>\n

The most interesting hotels of the Nordic countries are exactly what you\u2019d hope they\u2019d be. They are monumental meetings of inside and out, influenced by the types of design the region is famous for \u2014 whether that\u2019s Scandinavia\u2019s iconic modernism, or the warm rustic coziness you\u2019d expect from a place with permanent midnight, or the more recent trend of simple, stark interiors that won’t distract from the dazzling display of nature right outside the window.<\/p>\n

For those a bit fuzzy on the distinction, Scandinavia, strictly speaking, refers to Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. While the Nordic countries are comprised of those three plus Finland, Iceland, and Greenland (as well as the Faroe and \u00c5land islands). Now that you have all the tools necessary to navigate this list, we\u2019ll send you off with some Zeppelin:<\/p>\n

We come from the land of the ice and snow
\nFrom the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
\nThe hammer of the gods
\nWill drive our ships to new lands
\nTo fight the horde, sing and cry
\nValhalla, I am coming
\nOn we sweep with threshing oar
\nOur only goal will be the western shore
\nAh-ah, ah!
\nAh-ah, ah!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Umi<\/a><\/p>\n

For quite a long time Iceland\u2019s spectacular beauty was rather let down by its relatively ordinary hotels. Lately, however, a new movement is afoot, complementing this island nation\u2019s sublime, unearthly landscapes with some equally inspiring modern architecture and design. And it doesn\u2019t take much more than a glance at Umi Hotel to identify it as an example of exactly what we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n

The word \u201cspectacular\u201d barely begins to describe Juvet Landscape Hotel, an hour and a half\u2019s drive inland along the fjords from \u00c5lesund, Norway. From the outside these glass-and-wood cubes are stunning enough, but it\u2019s from the inside that you begin to appreciate what it is to be a \u201clandscape hotel\u201d \u2014 with one or two walls made of full-length glass, each cabin takes in a truly vast forest panorama. (If you\u2019ve seen the film Ex Machina, you\u2019ve seen a partial view of Juvet\u2019s interiors and exteriors.)<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t get much more picturesque than the Storfjorden, on Norway’s west coast, where the Storfjord Hotel sits surrounded by thousands of acres of protected woodland. It\u2019s constructed in the traditional lafta style, with whole timbers, and the interiors are ruggedly elegant, furnished with antiques and classic Norwegian furnishings. Of course it\u2019s not only the interiors you\u2019re here to see, but the landscape as well, and each of the bedrooms has a balcony looking out over the fjord and the surrounding mountains.<\/p>\n

Even by Norwegian standards, Manshausen Island is out there. This island in the Steigen Archipelago was once a traders\u2019 outpost, and the hotel\u2019s 1880s-vintage main house is a relic of this era. But the sea cabins are quite a bit newer. These pared-down larchwood-and-glass structures perch right at the water\u2019s edge, affording vertiginous views through full-length windows from living rooms furnished with mid-century reproduction furniture.<\/p>\n

The Eilert Smith Hotel is nothing if not unique. It\u2019s a converted 1930s warehouse by an architect of the same name, whose early-modernist Functionalist style now stands in stark contrast to the traditional wooden houses and contemporary glass buildings that make up the rest of the cityscape. What makes it a compelling destination, though, isn\u2019t the building so much as what\u2019s inside: 12 quietly stylish rooms, yes, but most importantly, RE-NAA, the only restaurant in all of Norway to be awarded two Michelin stars.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re happy to report that this is exactly what you would hope a hotel called Treehotel would be. Just south of the Arctic Circle, in Swedish Lapland, a young couple took over a Thirties guest house, which travelers more or less ignored in favor of the single treehouse suite. So with the help of seven different Swedish architecture firms, they built seven more, from the vertiginous Cabin to the dizzying Mirrorcube and the whimsical UFO.<\/p>\n
