The curtain will soon go up again at the Vasateatern theatre in Stockholm. After having stood empty since 2009, the classic private theatre will live once more in
a new guise. A vibrant cultural scene for events, theatre and music will become a reality when the splendid building is joined to Scandic Grand Central to create a one-of-
a-kind hotel with restaurants and bars. The design of Vasateater
n is a cooperation between the leading hotel operator in the Nordic region, Scandic, and the owner of the property, KLP Fastigheter. One of Sweden’s oldest theatres dating from the 1890s – and whose foyer is already part of Scandic Grand Central – will finally be in the spotlight again. It's a magnificent venue in the heart of Stockholm offering possibilities for a wide array of events — from large-scale concerts to movie premieres, conferences, seminars, symposiums and other performances for up to 800 people. This splendid building will be joined to Scandic Grand Central to create a one-of-a-kind hotel with a theatre venue, restaurants and bars. Vasateatern is a designated National Heritage Building and it will undergo a complete antiquarian restoration under the guidance of antique experts. Depending on the length of the renovation, the theatre is expected to reopen september 2016. Imagine, enjoying the theatre, event or concert taking place right in front of you in this historical atmosphere Vasateatern will offer and then take the elevator up to your hotel room. To be or not to be, is no longer the question.
