Book Hotel Theater Figi in Zeist, Netherlands

Other

In 1850 Figi started as a patisserie, founded by the Swiss patissier George Fygi. In 1909 the company moved to the centre of Zeist, Het Rond. As Figi evolved through the years, it grew out from a patisserie to a tea room and later on a restaurant.The wealthy area around Zeist wished for a Concert and Theatre hall to provide in their entertainment needs and in 1925 Figi opened its concert hall. Many international theatre plays and concerts were hosted in Figi and among the visitors Prince Hendrik and Queen Emma. In the nineties plans arose to build a new Figi, based on years of experience in hospitality, combined with a profound market knowledge. The Dutch designers couple Ravagewas contacted and they were given the task to translate the Figi identity into a hotel, congres centre, theatre, cinema, restaurant espresso bar and theatre café: all together a pleasant place to stay. The Figi building was opened in 1994 after two years of planning, designing and construction.
