Many of those sensors have also been equipped with global-positioning system add-ons, which can determine the rate at which a quake has caused a fault to slip.

Originally built in 1740, the 19-room hotel was taken over last year by Swedish hotelier Jenny Ljungberg, whose family owns Stockholm's rock-'n'-roll-cool Lydmar Hotel.
