Scandic has signed two long-term lease agreements with property owner JV Nordväst Fastighet AB to take over two hotels in Helsingborg and Jönköping that together have 199 rooms. The hotels will undergo comprehensive renovations and will be adapted to Scandic’s new brand before opening during the first half of 2026.
Interest in Scandic Go is high, and during 2024, Scandic has increased the pace of establishing hotels under the new brand. In July, the company announced that it would open two new hotels in Gothenburg and Umeå. Including the two hotel takeovers in Helsingborg and Jönköping, the company’s pipeline for Scandic Go now comprises six hotels with a total of 851 rooms in Sweden and Finland.
By taking over hotels or converting office space in destinations where market share in the economy segment is low, the company can accelerate the rate of establishing Scandic Go hotels. The new hotels are existing hotels that Scandic will take over, and they have central locations at destinations where demand from business and leisure travelers is expected to increase.
Jönköping is a diversified economic center in Sweden that attracts tourism as well as major meetings and events. The hotel has 103 rooms, and with its central location in the city center, guests will enjoy easy access to the city’s entertainment options and attractions in the region. It will also be certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, after it opens.
In Jönköping, Scandic’s total capacity after opening the new Scandic Go in the city will be three hotels with a total of 593 rooms.
