Swedish architects Wingårdhs create year-round resort with waterpark and hotel for Liseberg
Liseberg theme park in Sweden has confirmed the opening date for its new Grand Curiosa hotel.
A highly themed family hotel, the Grand Curiosa will have 457 family rooms, a restaurant with a fully functional merry-go-round from 1923, and a rooftop bistro with a view of the park and several bars.
The theming has been inspired by the history of its home city, Gothenburg, and the West Swedish East India Trading Company – combined with Liseberg's own unique DNA.
The hotel will form the first part of Liseberg’s wider expansion plans, which include a €110m indoor waterpark called Oceana.
The year-round attraction, designed by Swedish architects Wingårdhs, covers an indoor area of 13,600sq m and a further 4,000sq m outdoors.
Set to open in April 2024, the park will have a capacity of 1750 guests at any one time.
In total, the park will feature 14 separate attractions designed and manufactured by WhiteWater, ranging from toddler pools to thrill rides.
The Grand Curiosa will have its own entrance to the waterpark.
