The Molly is not a real hotel
It is an experiment. Here is exactly what that means.
What it is
The Molly is an imagined hotel. The island, the lighthouse, the rooms and the crew are invented, and the pictures and films are visualisations. Mollyholmen does not exist. There is no rock in the Norwegian Sea with our name on it, and nothing is opening in February 2027.
Why we made it
To find out whether a hotel like this is something people would want, and whether a place can be made to feel real before anyone pours concrete. The website and the social accounts were built to look like a hotel about to open. For about thirty days we are counting how many people look, and how many try to reserve.
What happens when you try to reserve
You are told the truth at the moment you press the button, before anything you typed is sent to us. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged. We never ask for a card.
Please do not book flights, ferries or time off on the strength of anything on this site.
The guest list
After you know, you can choose to join the guest list. That is the only way we receive your name and email. A place on the list costs nothing and commits nobody to anything. If The Molly is ever built, the list hears first; we make no promise that it will be.
What we do with your details
We keep them so you can find or cancel your place, and we write to you once, when the experiment ends, to tell you what we learned. Nothing else unless you asked for it. The privacy page has the rest.
