With world-class seafood, restaurants and a stunning coastline Gothenburg also has its fair share of hotel openings. The latest to open is the five-star Upper House. Handy for business or pleasure, the hotel is next to the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre and opposite the Liseburg Amusement Park.
Set on the top six floors of the soaring Hotel Gothia Towers the 50-room hotel within a hotel includes a two-storey suite (home to Ronaldo during Real Madrid’s recent friendly against PSG). Pared back, minimal, masculine interiors in whites and greys, with materials such as natural birch, black-stained ash and white, high-gloss laminate are dressed with high-end furniture from across Europe such as Tacchini and Estiluz.
The spa — reached across a bridge — has an outdoor, glass-bottomed pool from which you can see Liseberg and offers lesser-known Nimue treatments.
Executive chef Krister Dahl will dish up meals inspired by Sweden’s seasonal west coast fare.
