“Dine in splendor. Rest in peace.”
THE STORY
.
This Fall - housed in a 125 year old former Pioneer Square hotel - Cafe Nordo will release the dark history hidden in the walls of its Culinarium with their chilling ninth original theatrical dining experience Hotel Nordo.
.
Each plate of surrealist cuisine is paired with an episode of this Hotel's history, beginning with a 1927 wedding that ended in tragedy. Tripping through the decades from the twenties through the present day, Hotel Nordo tells four haunting tales of memories, death, loss, and regret.
.
Audiences are encouraged to don their drop-waist dresses, spats, and boas and raise a toast at the ill-fated wedding that whets the Hotels appetite for human suffering.
