Posthuset

Posthuset is a hotel and building complex in central Gothenburg that combines a neoclassical structure from the 1920s with contemporary additions. It contains around 500 rooms, several restaurants, and event spaces for conferences and gatherings.

The original building was completed in 1925 and served Gothenburg as the main post office before being converted into a hotel in later years. This transformation marks a shift from public infrastructure to hospitality use.

The hotel maintains a calendar of exhibitions, musical performances, and food events that connect local traditions with international influences throughout the year.

The hotel sits right next to Gothenburg Central Station and provides direct access to public transport and on-site parking. Its central location makes it a convenient base for exploring the city.

A rooftop swimming pool offers views across the city, and one restaurant blends Nordic ingredients with Japanese cooking methods. This unexpected mix of local and international approaches shows how the historic building embraces contemporary ideas.
