—ANNE'S HOUSE—
GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN

THE ACCOMMODATIONS: Modest, homey facilities—with but five rooms (3 doubles, a single, and a family room with 5 beds—all non-smoking), the hotel is small and personal. Anne’s House may be of modest size, but it is not of modest quality. Every room comes with its own private (but separate) bathroom (with bathtub or shower), CD player, TV/video, coffee/tea service, and breakfast. Breakfast comes in a hamper with homemade breads and fresh fruit, and may be eaten in the guest rooms or outdoors on the terrace.

        The hotel has a small, private, furnished garden for guests’ use, and a small store with handcrafted clothing and accessories.
        Nearby are many shops, services and restaurants, including take-out restaurants. Also within walking distance is the marvelous Liseberg amusement park, one of the largest in Scandinavia, with its combination of old-fashioned midway and high-tech thrill rides.

THE SETTING:
       "A Country Hotel in the City"—Anne Claesson’s rustic hotel, Anne’s House, looks like a small country lodging. It has the same red, wooden clapboards so popular throughout rural Scandinavia. Its country guesthouse appearance properly suggests its typical rural hospitality. But Anne’s House, oddly, is located in one of Scandinavia’s most densely populated and heavily visited locations, in a quiet residential neighborhood by the sports stadiums, congress halls, and great Liseberg amusement park of the city of Gothenburg, Sweden.

LOCATION:
      Historic, convenient Gothenburg—the city center is a ten-minute drive or 15-minute bus ride from the hotel. Here you will find the many attractions of Sweden’s very walkable second city: canal cruises, lively indoor and outdoor markets, museums, boutiques and restaurants. Here, too, is Gothenburg’s tourist office, and its transportation centers for city buses and trams, long distance railway, and ferry services.

ACTIVITIES:
      Exploring the captivating city of Gothenburg on foot or by public transportation—tram, rail, bus, and boat—is easy from Anne’s House. Gothenburg’s old city, with its intricate system of Dutch engineered canals, lovely architecture, and fascinating open and covered markets, invites casual exploration and is compact enough to be easily managed. A visit to the traditionally styled Liseberg amusement park invites a look at the Scandinavians at play. The friendly owner of the hotel is a welcoming, informative hostess eager to help visitors appreciate the history and charm of Gothenburg and its many attractions.
