'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas', the classic adage goes, and the same will now surely apply to Gothenburg, thanks to Jacy’z Hotel & Resort. From the people behind Ellery Beach House, Steam Hotel and Ystad Saltsjöbad comes a new inner-city resort that will have the coolest crowds flocking

"The resort that never sleeps" is how ESS Group describes the latest addition to its elevated portfolio of destinations, Jacy’z Hotel & Resort – which is big news for its surrounding Gothenburg.

The newly launched luxury site is housed in a new landmark 100-metre high skyscraper, but don’t let the audacious glass facade fool you into thinking its just another anonymous, cookie-cutter hotel. Upon entering, guests are transported to the mid-century glamour of Las Vegas, with distinct 1960s atmosphere and an airy, sophisticated colour palette, furnished with premium fabrics, crisp marble, rich woods and the fluffiest of pillows.

Across 27 floors, visitors will discover a wellspring of experiences spanning four restaurants, a sky bar, rooftop pool club, gym and cinema – just to get you started. Dining highlights include the all-American Archies restaurant with a menu of crowd pleasers, the Gaby's lunch restaurant which brings together flavours from different corners of the globe, East Asian fusions at Gogogaga, and a tucked-away speakeasy bar.

At the pinnacle is Jacy'z crown jewel: the Pachanga club, serving up ice-cold margaritas and lobster rolls alongside dizzying views of the city. Here, you can laze the hours away with the kind of features that we've come to know and love from the likes of Ellery Beach Club, with indulgent sun bed arrangements, dry and steam saunas, heated pools, fire pits and board games – all soundtracked by a line-up of buzzy DJ sessions.

According to the Jacy’z Hotel & Resort team, "a visit should leave you with the same feeling as leaving a big city – you couldn't see everything, so you just have to go back." With so much on offer across this towering venue, there's no doubt it will become the recurring haunt for those seeking a playful and indulgent taste of Vegas in the south of Sweden.
