The new Clarion Hotel Post in Gothenburg is set to open on 26 January 2012, a listed former Post Office from the 1920s which has been restored and extended into a sleek 500-bedroom hotel. Designed by the international architects Magnus Månsson of Semrén and Månsson and Erik Nissen Johansen of Stylt Trampoli, the hotel retains its original awe-inspiring grand hall and high ceilings. It also boasts a trendy rooftop pool and the top-class 'Norda Grill & Bar' restaurant, managed by the famous New York based chef Marcus Samuelsson. A standard double room will cost £58 pp (based on two sharing). The hotel will host the official launch party of Gothenburg International Film Festival (27 January - 6 February) and Sweden's annual fashion fair (9-11 March).
