Upper House

Top choice in Gothenburg


One of the highest hotels in Sweden, sumptuous Upper House takes up the top four floors of one of the Gothia Towers. The decor is cool Scandinavian chic, the beds are the ultimate in slumbering comfort, and the superlative spa comes with a hammam and a 19th-floor outdoor pool encased in glass, with killer views of the city.
