    A new arena is now open in the heart of Gothenburg, its the new place to meet and worth much more than a quick visit or an overnight stay!

    The old post office on "Drottningtorget" in Gothenburg has now been redesigned to a new fresh and modern hotel containing 500 hotel rooms and a rooftop sun terrace with pool, overlooking Gothenburg. Half of the facade is covered with copper and the other half with slate, these materials were used in the original post office building.

    Beautiful hotel, the combination of the old post building and the new modern interior makes this very attractive to customers.

    Yes, the combination of old and new is almost always the best. You sort of balance the minimal design and the rich older design, which is great!:D

    Yes the the combination of the old and the new is of course a big factor why this hotel looks as good as it does.. The sunroof in a city like Gothenburg is pretty unique too, so I think this hotel will be very successful.

    That's what typical Scandinavian architecture is like, I love the lounge area with the bar and everything.
