Welcome to the Sheraton. Not quite part of Marriott Bonvoy like the RL Sheraton, but certainly one of the more eccentric micro-hotels in Second Life.
Situated in Bryggen, a small town in SL Norway, this four-room inn sits above a pub, a barbershop, and a club with a glowing neon sign. The hotel , and indeed the entire sim, has been recently remodelled by Gian (GiaArt Clip), who rebuilt Bryggen from the ground up, giving the area a more cohesive, lived-in feel. The interior decor was done by ViolaBlackwood Resident, whose touches are immediately obvious as you step inside.
Each room has its own distinctive identity.
One offers a bath overlooking the street. Another comes with a clothes rack of vintage dresses. A third is moodier, with a wrought iron bed and leopard-print cushions. It’s like stepping into a Wes Anderson film that’s been gently overrun by time. The details: tasselled lamps, chipped wallpaper, and worn parquet floors, are curated with care.
The hotel has been around for some time, though previous iterations were extremely basic. This new version doesn’t offer modern luxury , no pool, no café, no concierge, but at L$84 a week, it serves as an affordable and atmospheric base for wanderers and explorers.
Bryggen itself has both an “upper town” where the hotel is located, and a “lower town” that leans more traditionally Norwegian. You can sail here, and two automated trains pass every 20 minutes, part of the SL Norway network that connects to the Blake Sea and beyond.

Quirky, individually styled rooms with personality
Prime mainland location at an exceptionally low weekly rate
Access to roads, sea, and rail (trains stop nearby every 10–20 minutes), and SL Norway International Airport
What to know:
Very small rooms with no shared amenities
The “Sheraton” name is a tongue-in-cheek detail, not a hotel chain
Best suited to those who appreciate faded charm over polished perfection
Recommended. Go and see it for yourself
