At Sweden’s Hotel Pigalle in central Gothenburg, spaces are rich and sensual, designed with an unmistakable nod to 1900s Paris. Room categories range from petite and mid-sized classique to generously proportioned royale with sitting areas. Located a short walk from the central train station, the hotel is ideally located for exploring Gothenburg’s selection of museums, cafés and nightlife.

The menu at Atelier boasts not only reliance on what’s fresh and local, but also dishes designed according to the mood of the kitchen team. A typical menu includes themed choices such as Northern Dreams (crushed amandine potatoes with black roe from Kalix, sour cream and brown butter), The Bird is The Word (pan-seared duck with baked pumpkin, herbs and blackened onions), Green is the New Orange (seasonal vegetables and greens prepared in a variety of ways) and From the Meadow (Swedish steak tartare with baked apples and crunchy celeriac topped with rooster liver). More casual fare can be found at Bar Amuse, along with live music and innovative cocktails.
