Sleek high-rise luxury hotel occupying floors 19-24 of Gothenburg's tallest building. Floor-to-ceiling windows, exceptional service, Michelin-starred restaurant, and stunning city views.
Upper House Gothenburg occupies floors 19 through 24 of Gothia Towers at Mässans Gata 24, adjacent to the Svenska Mässan convention centre and directly opposite the Scandinavium arena in central Gothenburg. The Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre is connected by covered walkway. The property sits 800 metres from Liseberg amusement park and a similar distance from the Korsvägen tram hub, which connects the area to Gothenburg Central Station in approximately 12 minutes and to the Avenyn boulevard in six minutes.
Gothia Towers is Gothenburg's most recognisable skyline building — the two original towers and the connecting third tower house multiple hotel brands, with Upper House occupying the premium floors of Tower 2. The hotel's position gives it a structural identity: all rooms begin at a height where views across the city are unobstructed, and the building's architecture — glass and steel curtain wall — was designed to maximise this. Upper House holds 47 rooms, distinguishing it as a genuinely small hotel rather than a full-scale luxury tower.
All rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic outlooks over central Gothenburg, the river, and on clear days the archipelago to the west. Room categories progress from Deluxe through Junior Suite to Suite configurations, with suites spanning corners and commanding 180-degree views. Furnishings are in a restrained contemporary Nordic style — muted tones, quality materials, low furniture that keeps window sightlines clear. Bathrooms are generous by Swedish hotel standards, with freestanding tubs in upper-tier rooms.
Upper House Restaurant holds a Michelin star and serves a Nordic tasting menu centred on West Swedish seafood, game, and seasonal produce from the surrounding region. Shrimp from the nearby Bohuslän coast, wild mushrooms, and Gothenburg-area vegetables feature prominently. The adjacent Upper House Bar offers an à la carte menu and cocktails alongside the same panoramic setting. A breakfast service of equal standard is included in most rates.
The Upper House Spa on the 23rd floor includes a heated outdoor infinity pool — the highest outdoor pool in Scandinavia — along with an indoor pool, multiple sauna types, and a full treatment menu. The gym is equipped with Technogym apparatus. Concierge service is comprehensive and experienced in corporate event and conference logistics given the property's convention centre adjacency. The hotel targets senior business travellers, corporate event groups, and luxury leisure guests.

Tips for visiting
- Request a west-facing room for sunset views over the Göta River and the Älvsborg Bridge — east-facing rooms look toward the city centre and Liseberg
- The outdoor pool is heated and open in winter — steam rises dramatically on cold evenings, making it a genuinely unusual experience in January
- Liseberg is a 10-minute walk south; the park runs from late April to early January including a large Christmas market from mid-November
- The Michelin restaurant operates a tasting-menu format — book three to four weeks in advance for weekend evenings
- Gothenburg's Feskekôrka fish market and the Haga district's historic wooden houses are 20-minute walks northwest and worth a morning loop
When to visit
Year-round. The outdoor pool is at its most atmospheric in winter. The Liseberg Christmas market (mid-November to early January) adds a strong leisure draw. Summer brings long evenings and the best conditions for the archipelago views.
