Stockholm Waterfront - Sweden - 2010

Despite its position as economic hub and leading financial and cultural centre, Stockholm has for many years lacked a modern and central facility for international congress, conferences, symposiums, and events.
A new hotel, conference centre and office building are beeing built next to an unbeatable communication portal. The Central Station with express trains to and from Arlanda airport and the bus terminal are just a few steps away.
With its central location, and a spectacular view over Stockholm, the Waterfront Building offers representative office space with a high degree of efficiency and technical adaptions. Furthermore the building meets high demands regarding environmental and energy impact.
The hotel consists of 418 rooms, with spectacular views over Riddarfjärden and Stockholm’s City Hall.
The congress complex consist of a large congress hall suitable for local as well as international events. With its flexible design it can be used for everything from exhibitions to concerts and board meetings, international congresses, conferences etc. Furthermore, a Business Center on levels 2 and 3 consists of a number of small, midsize, and large meeting rooms for all types of assemblies.
The complex includes a large banquet facility with room seating for up to 2000 guests as well as a range of restaurants which are able to accommodate guests even during a large major events.
