Tripadvisor’s ‘Traveler’s Choice Awards’, the best awards from the Massachussets company, which are based on the opinions of millions of travelers from around the world, have once again chosen the best hotel in Sweden and the award didn’t go to a luxury hotel in Stockholm* but in Gothenburg.

Upper House and Gothia Towers Hotel in Gothenburg
Upper House in Gothenburg
The 5-star Upper House hotel located in the Gothia Towers has been awarded the prize as the best hotel for the year 2019 in Sweden. The Upper House is, as the name suggests, ‘the upper and more exclusive house’ of the Gothia Towers Hotel. Its rooms and suites occupy floors 20 to 24 of the central tower. While breakfast is held every morning on the 25th floor with spectacular views of Gothenburg.

An unquestionably proof of how good this hotel is that Upper House has been awarded Sweden’s Best Hotel for the fourth time. And that is also shown in the satisfaction figures of the customers visiting.
Bookings at the Upper House include entrance to the spa, gym and yoga sessions, and core and other functional training sessions.
The Gothia Towers Hotel
The 4-star Gothia Towers hotel has 1200 international luxury rooms and suites. There are several bars and restaurants such as the popular Heaven 23 and a spa and heated outdoor hanging pool.
