Tourism in Gothenburg is booming, and the city is now home to a great range of stylish four-star accommodation. Book spacious rooms in four-star hotels overlooking the canal or stay in neoclassical-style properties from the turn of the century. You can choose between glamorous central venues in the heart of the city or relax in Gothenburg’s charming suburbs.
Find Hotels by the Water in Gothenburg
Several of Gothenburg’s four-star accommodation options are located next to the river, where you will also find the Maritima Museum and the opera house. There are also four-star hotels further west along the river, close to the beautiful scenery of Sweden’s west coast. Here you can enjoy boat trips between the islands of the Gothenburg Archipelago, visiting Vrångö’s nature reserve – a birdwatching hotspot – and the quaint cafes and tiny hamlets of Styrsö.
If you choose a hotel near Gothenburg’s coastline, put aside plenty of time to explore the area’s hiking routes and beaches. Askimsbadet Beach is a particularly popular spot, perfect for beach games and swimming.
Stay near Gothenburg’s Arts Venues
The city’s burgeoning arts scene has its hub in the city centre, where many of Gothenburg’s four-star hotels and apartments are located. The Stora Teatern on Avenyn hosts international performances, while Stadsteatern, Lorensbergsteatern and Folkteatern show more traditional Swedish plays and dances. The Gothenburg Opera House, a stunning angular building on the banks of the river, shows a diverse programme of musicals, operas and plays throughout the year.
To experience a different side of Gothenburg’s arts scene, book your four-star hotel stay during the annual Film Festival in January. The programme usually includes a selection of Swedish and world cinema titles. The city’s other big celebration is the Gothenburg Culture Festival. This week-long event, which takes place in August, sees dancers, actors and singers spill out onto the streets.
Gothenburg has transformed itself from a post-industrial city to a buzzing modern metropolis. Book your four-star accommodation in Gothenburg and discover its thriving arts scene, its lively nightlife and the spectacular natural landscapes on its doorstep.
