Clarion Hotel Post, Gothenburg: A Grand Stay in the Heart of the City
Once the central post office ("Posthuset") of Gothenburg, a beautiful building with roots going back to the 1920s. The original structure has been preserved and merged with a modern tower extension.
The design blends historic features (deep window niches, high ceilings, architectural details of Posthuset) with clean, modern Scandinavian style. The result is both grand and cozy.

Sustainability & Green Practices
Clarion Hotel Post is not only about style—it’s also serious about sustainability:
Runs a “Stay Green” program: guests staying 2 or more nights can opt out of daily room cleaning in exchange for a discount (or loyalty points/food credit), which helps reduce water, electricity & chemical usage.
Rooftop garden: food waste from hotel restaurants is composted (using bokashi method) to fertilize soil for growing herbs and produce used in the hotel.
Uses 100% renewable electricity.
Other green efforts: elimination of palm oil in food production; chemical-free cleaning products; recyclable staff uniforms; efforts to halve food waste and reduce emissions.
