These enhancements will be in line with Scandic’s operational standards and include environmental certification by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, a testament to the brand’s commitment to eco-friendly practices.

Upon completion, the new establishment will strengthen the company’s German portfolio, which will then encompass eight hotels with a total of 2,635 rooms.

Scandic Hotels Group president and CEO Jens Mathiesen said: “The expansion will strengthen Scandic’s presence in the German hotel market in an important financial centre where we see growing demand from both business and leisure travellers.”

Scandic has a network of around 280 hotels with 58,000 hotel rooms that are operational and under development at over 130 destinations.

In July, Scandic Hotels Group announced the expansion of its economy segment, Scandic Go, by transforming office spaces into new locations in Gothenburg and Umeå, Sweden.
