The Guests staying at the Molo Hotel will have an occasion to admire the unique ‘Sopot in Drawings’ cycle by Per Oscar Dahlberg. Each of the 70 hotel rooms is decorated with a drawing which shows a fragment of Sopot the artist found inspiring.  Per Dahlberg offers a tour of its own kind around known places in Sopot.  His magnetic drawings make us succumb to the charm of magic, extraordinariness, and dream-like images. No line is straight in his works, as people say.  His architectural drawings inspired the designers of ‘KrzywyDomek’ [the Crooked House], the most famous building in Sopot.
