The Hazelnut Inn is a highly immersive, handcrafted boutique hotel where every detail evokes the feeling of stepping into a story. Its design is more than a collection of tropes — it is a deeply layered homage to the storytellers who continue to shape our imaginations. We were inspired by the romance of classic literature and the nostalgic charm of traditional children's tales. We have woven the spirit of these literary worlds into our three distinct suites:
Sea-Pirates & Ancient Magic
The North Star Suite is our love letter to the high seas. We built this space to feel like the secret lair of a seasoned explorer.
Drawing on the aesthetics of an imagined “golden age of piracy” — in keeping with Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel — the North Star is filled with artifacts our {fictitious} Captain Temperance Longbottom discovered in a pirate’s lair.
Temperance herself — a female adventurer who sailed the world, returning these curiosities to their rightful homes — is a spiritual successor to the independent, seafaring spirit found in Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking.
Anthropomorphism & A Cozy Pastoral Burrow
We buried the Under Hill under a man-made hill to fulfill the universal dream of living in a secret, underground home. This suite evokes both J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-Earth and the charming, pastoral world of Keneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows.
It is owned by our own {fictional} Mr. Burrows, whose family has lived here for generations. Like Grahame’s cozy, underground animal homes the Under Hill is a luxurious sanctuary tucked away from the outside world.
Dungeons & Dragons
The Copper Crown is the ancestral home of dragon-riding aristocrats and the suite is rooted in the architecture of European folklore. Crossing the suite’s moat into its courtyard garden, you can almost feel the chivalric aura of King Arthur’s court.
And while we’ve created our own unique mythology for the Copper Crown, the tower bedroom, stone arches, and leaded-glass windows would easily lend themselves to a retelling of Rapunzel and her tower.
Tell Your Own Story
However, while our magical little hotel draws inspiration from the pages of classic literature and the whimsy of fairytales, it is also the beginning of another kind of story.
Whether you are seeking a romantic escape, a moment of reflection, or of quiet celebration, our suites provide the backdrop for a narrative that belongs entirely to you.
At the Hazelnut Inn, the most important story being told is the one you create during your stay.
