Far from the busy urban hum of Stockholm, in a northeastern corner of the island Gotland, lies the remote peninsula of Furillen, still largely unknown to tourists. Craggy limestone formations stand starkly beside deserted beaches, and sea birds nest among the ruins of an old gravel quarry. Accessed by a high-speed ferry or plane, and a 45-kilometer drive, the striking gray structure of the Fabriken Furillen is a eco-friendly design masterpiece created by photographer Johan Hellström. Inside, you experience a warmly welcoming interior that utilizes modern Scandinavian design and incorporates myriad shades of gray and white. Visitors can discover the fishing hamlet of Lergrav, take a ferry to the island of Fårö or traverse the hidden reaches of the peninsula on a "Skeppshult" bicycle, provided free of charge. Afterwards, enjoy a meal in the restaurant, prepared with local and seasonal ingredients fresh from the hotel's own farm.
The 18 guestrooms span between 8 and 32 square meters, and all feature a terrace. The smallest of the rooms is the Hermit Cabin, which is 20 minutes from the main hotel by bicycle, offers no electricity or running water, and features either a double bed or a bunk bed, a small stove, and a table and chair. The 24-square-meter Standard room has twin beds, a bathroom with a shower, a desk, and a fireplace, while the 24-square-meter Superior room features a king-size bed or twin beds, a shower, and a double balcony. Also at 24 square meters, the Superior Seaview room offers a king-size bed, a shower, and a double balcony, while the 32-square-meter Weighmaster’s Suite boasts a private terrace, a king-size bed, a fireplace, a pantry, and a small kitchen with a seating area.
Plush materials soften austere interiors, while luxury abounds in the form of Hästens beds and indulgent bathrooms.

Johan Hellström first made his name as a commercial photographer, traveling across the globe in search of the perfect shot. Having spent several summers on the Swedish island of Gotland, Hellström saw an opportunity to create a truly singular travel experience. He and his wife sold their belongings and bought the limestone quarry on Gotland's nearly deserted Furillen peninsula. With the Fabriken Furillen, he aims to give visitors that same breath of fresh air.
