More about Hotel Villan

Our unique waterfront location which is just a stone’s throw from downtown Göteborg means that you have a choice of options. Take a lovely stroll along the embankment followed by a meal at Restaurant River Café with the city lights twinkling in the background or, for a change of pace, take a boat ride into town. Villan is an historic building that was built in 1916 as the Eriksberg’s headquarters of the shipyard management and design office. Göteborg flourished as a shipbuilding town and Sweden became a world-leading shipbuilding nation. When the shipbuilding era drew to a close in 1980, there was no longer a need for the executive residence. The 800-ton building was transported on barges along the river and back to land, moving it fifty meters from its original location. The bill for new foundations along with moving and repairing “Villan” was substantial—or more precisely SEK20 Million. But preserving a cultural-historical quarter requires effort. Göteborg’s shipyard quarters with its fine old traditions are at present undergoing a slow and painstaking transformation. Cranes and overhead gantries are preserved while the residents of Göteborg make their homes in the new buildings lining the embankment. Eriksberg has morphed from a lively shipbuilding arena into a flourishing residential area.
