A glimpse of what lies behind the wall today.
Here you get a glimpse of how the site has looked for a long time, still and untouched. Now we are showing what once was, while actively working to create something new. The future will bring life, movement and transformation.
The hotel
Awaiting new life
The hotel at Dragon Gate holds a distinctive atmosphere. The rooms have remained untouched for years, furnished with Chinese details and grand visions from another time.
The hotel
The hotel has stood silent for many years. The rooms remain intact, echoing a time when everything was newly built. No one has stayed here yet, but something unique has the potential to grow here, step by step.
The arena
The grand arena sits at the heart of the area, surrounded by stone walls and walkways. It is currently empty, but the potential is clear. We envision a lively arena filled with people, activities and events that will bring new energy to the place.
The museum
Behind the walls lies a museum that never truly opened. The spaces are ready, but the content is still waiting to take shape. There is room here for new stories, installations and ideas. A blank canvas with vast space to fill.

The vision, 40 years ago
More than 40 years ago, Hotel Älvkarlen was designed as a vibrant meeting place along the E4. Today, that vision is being revived, with the ambition to develop the area into an open destination for travelers, tourists, and locals.
We have started reviewing the hotel!
Dragon Gate is being prepared for the future as heating systems and water infrastructure are inspected before the next development phase.
