Scandic has now opened its third hotel in Örebro, in the middle of a vibrant urban development project. Scandic Örebro Central, which has 160 rooms on nine floors, is strategically located next to Örebro Central Station and nestled among corporate and government offices. The hotel will be a new hub for Örebro residents and visitors alike, and Scandic is the first business to open its doors in the new Örebro Entré area. From today, Scandic now offers 596 hotel rooms in Örebro, making it the largest hotel company in the city.

Scandic Örebro Central, a new landmark in Örebro, is now open just 200 meters from Örebro Central Station, in the center of the city's new, rapidly expanding urban development project. Immediately upon entering, guests and visitors are welcomed by an airy, open lobby designed by architectural firm Wingårdhs. The space is ideal for locals, families vacationing with children and coworking business travelers to relax in while waiting for the next train or meeting - or even the day's sports activity or excursion. The hotel's strategic central location makes it easy for guests to reach the downtown core where they can enjoy the wide variety of restaurants and cultural activities Örebro has to offer, just a few minutes' walk from the hotel.

Scandic Örebro Central is an important addition to increase the city's total room capacity in pace with growth in the business community. It also stands to serve the needs of established companies such as Ericsson, Epiroc Rock Drills and SAAB Dynamics that are active in the region.

Since turning the first sod in January 2020 and throughout the construction process, sustainability has been in focus at Scandic Örebro Central. The property has been designed according to the high standards of the Sweden Green Building Council and it will have Silver certification. Scandic has been working to ecolabel its hotels since 1999, and before opening, Scandic Örebro underwent rigorous testing to be certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. In addition to environmental certification of the property and hotel operations, the hotel rooms have been designed with inspiration from a circular mindset, and parts of the room furnishings are made of recycled materials. The interiors have a lifespan of up to 15 years and most items can be reused or recycled during renovations, which is in line with Scandic's vision of a completely circular hotel room.

Scandic Örebro Central is also an essential building block in Corem's project to develop a new portal to Örebro. The hotel will be one of the city's new landmarks and together with the old postal terminal that is now being renovated, Scandic Örebro Central will be the heart of the new Örebro Entré.
