The goal is to achieve LEED Gold certification, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.

These renovations will begin in the first quarter of this year, with the aparthotel expected to welcome its first guests in the second quarter of next year.

The hotel will feature a variety of accommodations, including mini studios and one-bedroom units, each with a kitchenette.

Supermarket chain Lidl’s location on the ground floor will be retained.

The property’s central location offers various public transport links and proximity to the central station, catering to the needs of long-stay guests.

Slättö hotels head Erik Möller said: “The European and Nordic hotel markets are showing a strong performance, as travelling for short and long periods of time is increasing.

“There are significant value creation opportunities in apartment-hotel and long-stay properties that have high design standards and technology-driven operations.”
