Hotel Royal – A Favorite for Families in Gothenburg
About the Hotel
Historic Family-Owned Hotel
Hotel Royal, the oldest hotel in Gothenburg, has been family-owned since 1852. The lobby features a hand-painted glass ceiling, patterned stone floors, and an Art Nouveau marble staircase. Original details from the late 19th century, including hand-wrought iron banisters and tiled floors, remain intact.
Rooms & Amenities
The 76 rooms have parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Each is individually decorated, with contemporary bathrooms but no AC, kettles, or mini-fridges. Safety features include fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and a security system. A free breakfast buffet with hot and cold options is served daily.
Dining & Relaxation
Guests can enjoy free coffee, tea, and homemade cakes in the afternoons. The breakfast room has wood floors and natural light. A snack bar/deli is available for quick bites. The hotel partners with Hagabadet Spa & Gym, offering discounted entry (SEK 125 for the gym, SEK 325-625 for the spa).
Central Location
The hotel is between Gothenburg Central Station and Kungsportsavenyen. It's a 5-minute walk to the train station and a 25-minute ride from Göteborg Landvetter Airport via the airport bus. Nearby landmarks include the Museum of Gothenburg (0.5 km), Liseberg Amusement Park, and Trädgårdsföreningen's rose garden and café.
