The only hotel in Sweden with accepted membership in the exclusive Leading Hotels of the World group – Grand Hôtel Stockholm – has been offering tic® to guests via all it’s rooms and suites since December 2012.

It’s modern, elegant and innovative, and it leaves a long-lasting positive impression with guests.” says Jryki Sahamies, Executive Housekeeper at Grand Hotel Stockholm.
 
Suiting grand, luxury and full-service properties
The Tic Sweden Company granted the Grand Hotel in Stockholm exclusive rights to offer tic®. Now the rights have expired there are other five-star luxury, grand and full-service properties in Scandinavia and Europe beginning to adopt the product.

The Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts in Amsterdam (Holland) are currently using tic® and throughout Scandinavia the Nordic Choice group is introducing it to multiple properties.

Some choose also to use it as a departure gift or giveaway item during familiarization tours and conferences, it’s a remarkably versatile item.” says Key Account and Marketing executive at the Tic Sweden Company, Andrew Arbuthnott.

"We experience Tic as en excellent way to communicate with our guests. It shows that we’re a high quality and forward thinking hotel, a leading hotel of the world.” says Executive Housekeeper of the Grand Hotel Stockholm, Jryki Sahamies.
