From suite to cabin

Our Guestrooms

At Stora Hotellet we have divided our 82 rooms into six categories, ranging from spacious suite to compact seaman’s cabin. As the hotel was built by Umeå’s Seaman’s Mission, the categories are named after key concepts from the seafarer’s world view. The rooms have views across some of the best spots in Umea, including Rådhusparken, Umeälven river and Väven culture centre.
