Jacy'z Hotel & Resort looks very nice. When I was in Gothenburg at the book fair a while ago, I had a view of that hotel from the Scandic hotel I stayed at and it's a really nice building too.

How nice that TUI is doing so well. I had never heard of Jacy'z Hotel and Resort. Must say that the "bar" in the picture is reminiscent of a Finnish ferry.
Then I laughed at Delirium Noël - how on earth can such a beer be sold. You don't exactly get any positive vibes about going into a delirium, despite only 10 per cent alcohol;-)

Isn't that a very odd name for the beer? Have to agree there! 😉
