Clarion Hotel Post, Sweden

Clarion Hotel Post

Gothenburg, Sweden

Set in Gothenburg’s historic post office, and retaining many of its original period features, the Clarion Hotel Post combines traditional charm, modern convenience and a central location at the heart of the city. The exterior’s 1920s neoclassical façade gives way to a stylish, contemporary interior, featuring cool, monochrome palettes and sleek, modern lines. You’re just a few steps from the popular Trädgårdsföreningen park, Gothenburg’s central train station, and Avenyn (the city’s main boulevard).

A generous buffet breakfast is served daily in the dining room. The hotel’s Norda restaurant also offers an impressive Saturday brunch, as well as weekday lunches and dinners — its menu features local ingredients. There’s also a sushi bar and outdoor terrace for enjoying drinks during long Scandinavian summer evenings. During your stay, you can take advantage of the beauty and wellness options available at Skönhetsfabriken (literally: beauty factory), which includes a spa, sauna, gym and pool with panoramic views.

OUR OPINION:

We love this hotel for its excellent location, a short walk from all of Gothenburg’s key highlights, as well as its attentive staff and historical exterior.
