Wenner-Gren Center
The 74-metre-high building at Sveavägen 166 was completed in 1962 and is classified as a Blue-listed building by the City of Stockholm – the highest level of cultural heritage protection.
Once Sweden’s tallest building, featuring a groundbreaking construction that placed both Stockholm and Sweden on the international map of architecture and engineering.
Wenner-Gren Center offers spectacular views over Stockholm’s city centre on one side, and Hagaparken and Brunnsviken on the other.
One of Stockholm’s most iconic landmarks
Welcome to Wenner-Gren Center – an icon of Stockholm’s skyline that, since 1962, has challenged the city to evolve and think differently, both in design and purpose.
Wenner-Gren Center was designed by architects Sune Lindström and Alf Bydén on behalf of financier Axel Wenner-Gren, founder of Electrolux, who envisioned Stockholm as a hub for international research exchange. The building was inaugurated in 1962 by King Gustaf VI Adolf and quickly became a landmark in the city.
A full-service building that simplifies everyday life
In the lobby, tenants and visitors are welcomed by a professional reception team ready to assist. Need to borrow an umbrella or a WGC bicycle? Help with office supplies? Or assistance planning your next conference? No request is too big or too small. The lobby also features a coffee bar serving barista coffee, pastries and light meals.
At the base of the building you will find a modern, fully equipped gym available to everyone working in the building. Train cardio, strength with free weights, or unwind in the yoga area. Personal training is also available at favourable rates. Adjacent to the gym and changing rooms is a secure bicycle storage area.
Wenner-Gren’s Dining Room is the building’s natural meeting place. Seasonal, high-quality lunches are served in a relaxed yet elegant setting. In the evenings, the restaurant can be exclusively booked for events. Together with our experienced project managers, memorable evenings are easily created.
At the very top of the building is Wenner-Gren’s Banquet Floor. Located 74 metres above ground, the views are truly exceptional, overlooking both Stockholm’s city centre and the beautiful Hagaparken. The venue can be booked for dinners, conferences, events and celebrations – imagination sets the limits. Our experienced project managers are on hand to support planning and delivery, allowing you as host to focus entirely on your guests.
Access to meeting rooms
Directly connected to the lobby are inspiring meeting rooms of various sizes, suitable for everything from small workshops to larger meetings. These meeting rooms complement the office space your company occupies in the building, eliminating the need for large in-office meeting rooms. As a tenant, a number of meeting room hours per month are included. Additional hours can be booked at favourable rates. Should you require coffee, refreshments or a light lunch delivered to the meeting room, our service team will be happy to assist.
Conference rooms and auditorium for up to 180 people
Wenner-Gren Center offers several bookable conference rooms at the top of the building, all with views over Stockholm’s city centre. For larger lectures and workshops, the on-site auditorium accommodates up to 180 seated guests. All spaces are equipped with modern, high-quality audiovisual technology.
