Former back streets are being transformed into exciting cross streets with small shops and outdoor cafés, giving the area a unique charm and character, with the destination hotel forming the heart of the district. The space will accommodate small-scale, experimental, and creative ventures, with a colorful mix including studios, vintage clothing shops, bicycle workshops, and community spaces. Marievik is already an ideal place to test business ideas and launch new enterprises, and as the area develops, its distinct profile will become even more pronounced.

Marievik is home to several international companies, long established – including Pernod Ricard and Heidelberg Cement. And more are on their way. The languages you hear along the quay promenade or in the area’s cafés and restaurants are many. The area’s role as an international meeting place will become even more apparent when the planned hotel opens — a place not only for accommodating distant guests but also for meetings, recreation, dining, drinks, and entertainment.
