I just spent the weekend in Gothenburg and I thought I would drop a little info to add to Vicious' already great intel.
First off I took Vicious' recommendations on the
Hotel Avalon. Very dope spot indeed. It would be hard to convince me to stay any other place on my return visits to GTB. The place has great designed roomed, lots of plusses, really great concierge service (I had dry cleaning and fruit, chocolate, champagne on the house).
I stayed in a Superior room on the fifth floor (recommended for smokers as it has a private balcony). The bathroom is almost as large as the room itself ~30sq/m.
The breakfast is also really well done. Really fine high quality food. Something that would easily cost Kr100 ($15) somewhere else.
There is also a really stylish and happening bar in the hotel lobby
(Avalon Bar). Lots of beautiful women (of course, this is Sweden).
Heads up though, if you are driving the valet and parking is very expensive. For two nights it cost me kr700 ($105). This makes an already expensive hotel that much more, so be warned.
I was in GTB with a woman so I can not give too much intel on the nightlife. We spent most of the weekend in the room partying like rockstars. The concierge did say he could put us on the list of
Lounge(s) if we decided to go. We did not.
Caleo- The best restaurant I have been to so far in Sweden. And for the price even more so. Be sure to
check it out if ever there.
Also dope is
Bon. Its a happening spot and does not take reservations so it creates a cool pre meal apertivo type of environment.
At this point I would have to say that if I was going to stay in Sweden for the long haul, I would likely choose GTB as the place to be. The people are really cool, very easy going and much more open and relaxed than Malmo. While I still think Malmo has the hottest women in Sweden, I will say that it would be much easier to find women who are down for some fun and yet are still cool to chill with. Twice I was opened by girls in GTB, and once a girl told the girl I was with that she had a handsome and cool man. My girl agreed that GTB would make a good boys weekend getaway.
