-FROM THE BEGINNING- ELITE PLAZA HOTEL S HISTORY- HAS BEEN ONE OF PRAISE-WORTHY TRADITION. ONCE HOUSING THE SVEA FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY IN THE LATE 1880 S- THE BUILDINGS WERE DEVELOPED BY AWARD-WINNING ARCHITECTS OF THAT ERA. RECENT RENOVATIONS REFLECT THEIR CLASSICISM AND WERE SHOWCASED WHEN ELITE OPENED HER DOORS JANUARY 2000. THE REMARKABLE DOORWAY MADE OF FINE-CUT- PARTIALLY POLISHED GRANITE AND THE GENUINE MOSAIC FLOOR FROM ENGLAND HAVE BEEN RESTORED TO THEIR ORIGINAL BEAUTY. PILLARED HALLS WITH ARCHES OF ITALIAN MARBLE STUCCO AND WROUGHT-IRON DETAILS ARE ONLY PART OF THE NEW RENAISSANCE STYLE- WHICH THE GOTHENBURG COMMERCE AND SHIPPING JOURNAL NOTED IN 1889. IT WAS SAID TO BE AN EMBELLISHMENT NOT TO GOTHENBURG ALONE- BUT TO THE WHOLE OF SWEDEN. SVEA HAS THE HONOR OF OWNING A BUILDING- WHICH IN TERMS OF STYLISTIC PURITY- BARELY HAS AN EQUAL AMONG BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF SCANDINAVIA. PROXIMITY TO THE CITY CENTER AND HIGH-TECH AMENITIES ARE WHAT MAKE ELITE PLAZA AN OBVIOUS CHOICE FOR EXECUTIVES- AS WELL AS THE COMFORT AND PERSONAL ATMOSPHERE. THE COZY HOTEL BAR IS A NATURAL MEETING PLACE FOR GUESTS AND GOTHENBURGERS ALIKE FOR TRADING SECRETS OR SECRETS OF THE TRADE. SINK INTO BIG ARMCHAIRS AND RELAX OVER A DRINK AND A PAPER IN THE BISHOP S ARMS. FOR SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS- THE WELL-STOCKED WINE CELLAR IS A PERFECT SITE FOR PRIVATE WINE TASTINGS OR DINNERS. |
