You want “brutal beauty,” you’ve got it, said Heather Smith MacIsaac in Travel + Leisure. Once a cement factory, this hauntingly beautiful hotel on the Baltic isle of Gotland was created by a photographer, and you can tell: The place has visual drama “in spades,” from the juxtapositions of polished and rough stone to a coat tree draped with gray wool throws. Occasionally, the stylistic severity yields less-than-cushy amenities—“bare-bones” bathrooms, for instance. But there’s something to be said for dining on tender reindeer or tuna tartare in such a “rugged, surreal” setting.
