Scandic Arlandastad

Scandic has signed an agreement to take over the operation of a 150-room hotel at Arlandastad in close proximity to Stockholm Arlanda Airport and with direct access to the new international meeting and event center, Scandinavian XPO.

Scandic has reached an agreement with property owner Arlandastad Holding regarding a 15-year lease agreement for the former First Hotel Arlanda. The hotel was built in 2015 but has been closed in recent months following the bankruptcy of the hotel operator. Scandic expects to open the hotel on January 10, 2021 under the name Scandic Arlandastad.

Since the hotel is modern and in good condition, Scandic will initially limit investments to rebranding the establishment as Scandic. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the parties have agreed to a revenue-based lease agreement that provides a reasonable risk distribution between Scandic and Arlandastad Holding.

• It's very positive that we are now able to establish operations near Arlanda, an area where Scandic has lacked presence. Scandic Arlandastad will be an excellent complement to our other hotels in the Stockholm area, says Peter Jangbratt, Head of Scandic Hotels Sweden.

The hotel is located at Arlandastad, five minutes from Stockholm Arlanda Airport and right in the center of the growing Airport City Stockholm. Arlandastad is an expansive area where a new meeting and event center, Scandinavian XPO, will open in 2021. It is also home to DRIVELAB Stockholm, one of Northern Europe's most prominent meeting places for the automotive industry
