In these tough economic times, free is always good. If you should find yourself in Gothenberg, on the [west coast of Sweden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bob-w-stockholm), be sure to check out The Creator's Inn.

This [all-inclusive suite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrapping-rooms) is offered by clothing brand Elvine and is provided free to "[creative types](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creare)" who can make a convincing case for being granted access to the space, which offers Wi-Fi, and a copy of 'Alcohol and the Bible' by Howard H. Charles in the nightstand instead of your standard Gideons Bible.

The concept behind the suite is to sponsor "creative social responsibility," and Elvine has hopes to spread the idea worldwide.
