Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Helgeand Wisby
N:a Kyrkog. 3–7, Visby, Gotland, 621 55, Sweden
Head to Hotel Helgeand if you want a room that evokes the Middle Ages, when Visby’s importance was at its height. Every room is different, with a mix of dark-wood furniture, wrought-iron details, wooden floors, deeply set windows, and exposed limestone or plaster walls. The building itself retains its original medieval character. There's even a 16th-century dining room and halls with medieval cross vaults. However the rooms, with names like "The Knight," "The Bishop's Little Room," and "The Italian Messenger," have pretty basic decor. It was the Middle Ages, after all.
