Even though Gothenburg is not the capital of Sweden, the city is immensely popular with both Swedes and tourists. This is not only due to the city's practical and pleasant location, where Gothenburg is close to most things - along the coast you are close to water and some of the West Coast's finest gems, and inland you are close to a number of other well-known and well-visited cities. In other words, if you're visiting Gothenburg, there's plenty of wonderful things to do!

One thing the city has in abundance is really good and nice hotels. Whether you prefer to stay in smaller, more personalised boutique hotels or if you like it big, fancy and all within easy reach within the same walls, there are hotels in Gothenburg that fulfils your requirements.
