A More Private Way to Stay
Luxury is not always about having more.
Often, it is about having fewer interruptions, greater privacy and an environment designed to help you slow down.
The Penthouse Rooms occupy a private section of the hotel and are accessed through a dedicated corridor reserved exclusively for Penthouse guests. This creates a noticeably calmer atmosphere, enhanced privacy and an added sense of security compared to traditional hotel accommodation. Whether visiting Gothenburg for business, a special celebration or a relaxing city break, many guests appreciate the quiet and discreet environment that the Penthouse experience provides.
In a busy world, privacy has become one of the most valued luxuries of all.
Only Five Individually Designed Rooms
Unlike traditional luxury hotels where every room follows the same design template, each Penthouse Room at Hotel Riverton has its own unique identity.
No two rooms are exactly alike.
Inspired by the nearby waterfront, soft blue tones are combined with elegant wood details, marble finishes and carefully selected materials to create a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. The individuality of the rooms allows returning guests to discover a different experience with every stay while enjoying the same exceptional level of comfort and quality. For travelers who prefer boutique hotels over large international chains, this personal character is often one of the Penthouse Rooms' most appreciated qualities.
Wake Up to Views of Gothenburg's Harbor
The connection to the waterfront is one of the defining features of the Penthouse experience.
Each room faces Gothenburg's harbor and includes its own private terrace. Floor-to-ceiling windows and large sliding terrace doors fill the room with natural light throughout the day while framing ever-changing views of the harbor and waterfront. Begin your morning with a freshly brewed Nespresso coffee on the terrace, watch the city come to life from above and enjoy a perspective of Gothenburg that few visitors experience.
Travelers searching for luxury accommodation in Gothenburg often look for the same qualities: harbor views, private outdoor space, thoughtful service and a quieter atmosphere. The Penthouse Rooms combine all of these elements in one of the city's most sought-after waterfront locations.
Designed Around Exceptional Comfort
Every detail has been selected with comfort in mind.
Each Penthouse Room includes:
- King-sized DUX bed
- Exclusive duvet mattress
- Egyptian cotton linens
- Natural down duvet and pillow selection
- Air conditioning
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- 55" HD-TV with built-in Chromecast
- Nespresso machine
- Complimentary sparkling water

The result is a room designed not only to look beautiful, but to feel welcoming and comfortable from the moment you arrive.
Thoughtful Service Until the End of the Day
Luxury is not only about the room itself.
It is also about how the experience feels when you return to it.
As a Penthouse guest, nightly turndown service is included as part of your stay. While you enjoy dinner, cocktails or a visit to Serenity Spa, our team prepares your room for the evening ahead. The room is refreshed, curtains are drawn and your bed is prepared to create a welcoming atmosphere when you return. It is a detail that many experienced luxury travelers immediately recognize and appreciate. Combined with the privacy of the Penthouse floor and the personalized nature of the experience, turndown service contributes to a stay that feels thoughtful from beginning to end.
Serenity Spa Included with Every Penthouse Stay
Every Penthouse booking made direcly on Hotel Rivertons own website includes access to Serenity Spa.
Designed as an adult-focused wellness retreat, Serenity Spa provides a place to slow down, reconnect and unwind.
Facilities include:
- Serenity Pool
- Hammam steam room
- Aromatherapy sauna
- Traditional dry sauna
- Experience showers
- Heated relaxation beds

For many guests, the combination of private accommodation and included spa access creates the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, anniversary celebration or luxury weekend in Gothenburg.
A Complete Experience Under One Roof
A memorable stay extends beyond the room itself.
At Hotel Riverton, guests can seamlessly move between accommodation, wellness and dining without leaving the property. Located on the 12th floor, View Skybar & Restaurant offers panoramic views over Gothenburg's harbor entrance and has become a destination for both visitors and locals alike. Enjoy dinner inspired by the Swedish west coast, award-winning cocktails and one of the city's most distinctive settings before returning to the privacy of your Penthouse Room.
