Seminars and company events
Elite Hotel Marina Tower can hold a conference of up to 400 people in its main hall, with 14 more rooms for workshops, board meetings and banquets, and 186 bedrooms in the same building. The hotel occupies an old mill building at Saltsjöqvarn in Nacka, on the water facing Djurgården, just east of central Stockholm.
The congress hall sits on the ground floor and a full conference floor holds most of the other rooms, which keeps a large program on two levels. Gyllene Salen is built for trade shows, car launches, award ceremonies and large conferences, with a 12 by 4 meter 4K LED wall, a 14 by 3 meter stage, stage and front lighting, wireless microphones and on-site technicians. Smaller meetings can be booked online, while larger events go through the Elite conference team, which also offers tailored meeting formats.
Rooms and capacities
Gyllene Salen measures 400 m² with 6-meter ceilings and takes up to 400 theatre-style, 380 at a banquet, 280 at round tables or 72 in a U-shape. Djurgårdssalen, 396 m², seats 240 theatre-style, 150 classroom or 200 at islands. Seglora, 156 m², takes 130 theatre-style or 90 classroom. Prins Eugenes salong, 110 m², seats 90 theatre-style or 60 at a banquet. Skansen and Solliden, 120 m² each, take 100 theatre-style. Mannagrynskvarnen, 76 m², seats 50 theatre-style or 30 at a boardroom table. Saltsjöqvarn and Waldemarsudde combine into a 90 m² room for 60. Smaller rooms such as Danviken, Saltsjön, Stadshuset, Kontoret and a group room serve board meetings from 5 to 20 people.
Accommodation
The hotel has 186 non-smoking bedrooms, so delegates can sleep upstairs from the conference floor. Many rooms look toward Djurgården and the Stockholm inlet.
Catering
SQ Bar & Restaurang, on the ground floor of the old mill, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. In summer its terrace by the water opens, which gives a conference a place for an outdoor lunch or an evening drink. Banquets in Gyllene Salen and Prins Eugenes salong are served by the hotel.
History and setting
The hotel is set in a large former mill building on the Saltsjöqvarn quay, part of the industrial waterfront of Nacka that has been converted to homes, offices and hotels. Room names such as Mannagrynskvarnen recall the mill, while others, like Skansen, Waldemarsudde and Djurgårdssalen, refer to the landmarks visible across the water.
Getting there
A commuter boat stops outside the hotel and reaches Nybrokajen, by Nybroplan in central Stockholm, in about ten minutes; SL public transport tickets are valid. Bus 53 runs from T-Centralen and Slussen to Henriksdalsviadukten, from where a short walk and a lift lead down to the hotel. Slussen is the nearest metro station. Drivers can park in the Utsikten garage on the 11th floor.
