Avalon Hotel

Toin mieheni tänne pitkäksi viikonlopuksi ja täällä oli upeaa. Meillä oli perushuone, joka oli kauniisti sisustettu boutique-tyyliin. Huoneessa oli lisämukavuuksia, kuten kylpytakit, tohvelit, Bulgarin saippua sekä mineraalivettä ja suklaata talon puolesta. Hotellista ei puutu mitään, hintaan kuuluu myös langaton internetyhteys. Aamiainen kuului meillä huoneen hintaan ja se oli upea: kaikkea mahdollista ruotsalaisista lihapullista makkaraan, leivonnaisiin ja tuoreisiin hedelmiin. Söimme runsaan aamiaisen, sillä Göteborg on suhteellisen kallis kaupunki syödä ulkona. Hotellin keskeinen sijainti on ihanteellinen, kävelymatkan päässä ostosmahdollisuuksista ja ruoka- ja juomapaikoista. Myös bussi- tai junalipun voi ostaa, niillä pääsee kauemmaksikin, noin kymmenellä eurolla per päivä.

The Avalon Hotel is refined, understated elegance of the highest order. It is a hotel richly deserving of international recognition. The attention to every detail is awe-striking. The managers of this hotel here are to be congratulated for leaving no stone unturned in their painstaking, caring efforts to create a memorable experience that leaves you wanting to return before you ever left. The responsiveness of the entire staff at the Avalon is tireless and unrelenting. I say this as one who was front office supervisor of the storied Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. You are made to feel special at this hotel, you’re not a number. Every step of the way I was treated like a VIP. From my first inquiries, Tilde and Elina assured me everything would be done to make my reunion with a friend I’d not seen in 15 years an unforgettable one and they did not disappoint. Not only did they secure me my preferred room type, they secured me a room with a breathtaking panorama of the city with an uber-cool 7-foot-tall horse sculpture on my balcony. The halls are lined with evocative oil paintings and old Hollywood photographs. If you are a lover of the arts, you will love this hotel. I’d call it an art hotel with a cool, chill, hip upmarket vibe. I was checked in by Daniel, who was tireless in seeing to my every need, going above and beyond what anyone would expect from a first-class hotel. He took pride and joy in my delight at the hotel’s aesthetic and countless amenities. I was deeply touched when I arrived at my room to find waiting for me a beautiful card wishing me a happy reunion with my beloved friend. The card was accompanied by a box of delectable chocolate truffles made by a Swedish chocolatier who’s been making hand-crafted chocolates since 1870. The room design is authentic Swedish modern design that takes its cues from retro 60s design. The wood furnishings are made of fine teak. The linens are of the highest quality, incredibly soft to the touch. Even the textures of the drapes makes you want to touch them for the sensory experience. There are swivel reading lamps on either side of the bed and outlets thoughtfully placed so you can charge your iPad while reading a digital book in bed. The bath products are Bulgari and the bathroom is separated into a dedicated bath area, a dedicated toilet area, and a dedicated waterfall shower stall encrusted with artful mosaic tile. My balcony is oversized and an idyllic spot for room service breakfast. I’ve never had a hotel room balcony as large. There is a state of the art system and live orchids to give warmth to the room. The front desk provides oversized umbrellas for rainy days and the front desk staff are a resource to all that Gothenburg has to offer. The downstairs restaurant offers top shelf offerings in a beautiful room, perfect for an intimate dinner. Same day dry cleaning is provided. The amenities here are endless. But most of all what I would like to say is that I took a break from my own country which is currently in turmoil for a peaceful break and what I found at the Avalon are stark reminders that there are many wonderful people in the world who still care to bring joy to others and that is everything the Avalon, its managers and staff are. The Avalon stands as a model of how and when the hospitality industry gets it right—in every way. I have a big problem now. I don’t want to leave the Avalon. I want to live here because of the people who make staying here a home away from home that may be better than home itself. This is my new happy place. My newfound retreat.
