Gothenburg has become one of Scandinavia’s top destinations for business travel, thanks to the presence of major multinational companies such as Volvo and SKF, a flourishing startup scene and world-class conference facilities. Getting around the city is easy, thanks to a compact, walkable city center and excellent transport links, including direct airport rail links, making it very convenient for business travelers moving between meetings, events and accommodation.
The choice for a professional on a business trip depends on what they want: proximity to the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre, direct transport links from the airport, dedicated business lounges, or simply a central location on the main boulevard. From the sprawling Gothia Towers complex, Europe’s largest integrated hotel, exhibition and conference facility, to design-led boutique properties and new openings with unrivaled transport connectivity, the five hotels below are the best options across these criteria.

Feedback
The sheer convenience of Gothia Towers always impresses business travelers—the ability to move from a hotel room into a conference hall without ever going outside is priceless for both event guests and hosts. There’s no need to leave the complex for great meals, with a range of on-site dining options from Michelin-starred fine dining to a 24/7 café. The size of the property allows for large groups, but some guests have said that during major conferences, the public areas can feel crowded.

Feedback
Business travelers frequently commend Hotel Bellora for its individuality, offering all the work facilities you need without the corporate feel of many business-oriented hotels. The Avenyn spot is a big pull, putting guests a stone’s throw from the city’s best restaurants and bars for client dinners or team socializing. Thoughtful design and Italian-inspired details fill the refurbished business lounge and meeting rooms. A number of guests have commented on the noise from street-facing rooms. For a quieter stay, you should ask for a room facing the courtyard.
