Hotell Onyxen occupies a converted 19th-century townhouse on Sten Sturegatan in Gothenburg’s Haga district, running as a family-owned, adults-only boutique hotel with 31 rooms and direct access to the historic Hagabadet spa.
Rooms mix original architectural details — tall windows, ornate moldings, parquet floors — with contemporary Scandinavian furnishings and muted color palettes. Downstairs, the hotel’s informal Italian restaurant anchors the ground floor, serving pasta and antipasti in a setting that favors relaxed dinners over formality. Guests booking directly gain entry to Hagabadet, Gothenburg’s landmark Art Nouveau bathhouse and spa next door, giving the stay a wellness dimension rare among boutique city hotels. The overall tone leans elegant but unpretentious, suited to couples and solo business travelers who want personality without excess polish.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Haga’s cobbled streets and café culture sit minutes away on foot, making the hotel a practical base for exploring central Gothenburg without a car. Liseberg Amusement Park and Universeum Science Center are both reachable within a short walk, useful for travelers combining business with leisure. Spring and early autumn bring milder weather and fewer tour groups through Haga’s main strip, Haga Nygata. Book spa slots at Hagabadet in advance, especially on weekends, since direct hotel guests receive priority access. Reserve a table at the in-house Italian restaurant ahead for evening arrivals, as the compact dining room fills quickly during peak conference season in Gothenburg.
