Welcome to the festival’s meeting point – Hotel Draken
Next to Biograf Draken, the main cinema of the film festival, you’ll find Hotel Draken – the festival’s hub and a gathering spot for film enthusiasts during the festival days. Here, you can run into other festival-goers, mingling celebrities, and film industry professionals practically around the clock. Stop by the lobby before or after a movie, grab a bite to eat or a drink at one of the hotel’s restaurants, or take in the stunning view from the rooftop bar on the 32nd floor.
And that’s not all – film festival visitors are, of course, offered a generous discount on accommodation during the festival. Book via this link and use the code Filmfestivalenlocal to receive a 15% discount on your stay.
At the hotel, you’ll also find the festival’s industry centre, complete with our Industry Desk where accreditations and more can be collected. Invited festival guests from all corners of the world stay here, just a few steps away from the cinema hosting the major premieres.
In other words, Hotel Draken is the ultimate meeting place for film lovers during the festival. The fact that the hotel and cinema are located at Järntorget – named one of Europe’s coolest neighbourhoods by The Guardian – only adds to the vibrant atmosphere. As a key hub for public transport, Järntorget is easily accessible by tram and bus.
Hotel Draken seamlessly combines history and modernity. The listed Biograf Draken, a cultural meeting place since 1956, serves as the hotel’s beating heart. Within the hotel, you’ll find restaurants like Heurlins, where sweet meets savoury, and Brasserie Draken, offering brasserie classics alongside breathtaking views.
The hotel also features unique spaces for conferences, events, and gatherings, including the spectacular 32nd floor. The Living Room blends the city’s dynamic vibe with art, music, and delicious food, while Obie Spa delivers a Nordic-inspired spa experience. Film and music enthusiasts will feel right at home in the hotel’s inspiring library.
