Nordic Choice Hotels is raising the bar for international conference venues with the opening of Comfort Hotel Copenhagen Airport next to the hotel group’s existing Clarion Hotel on May 20. This addition means that they now offer 66.000 m2 divided between nearly 1000 hotel rooms, an enormous conference hall and 33 meeting rooms just a four minute walk from the airport.
Nordic Choice Hotels is the first hotel company in the Nordic region that can offer guests 5G, beginning with Comfort Hotel Xpress Stockholm. Initially. the mobile technology of the future will be available in 20 of the hotel’s 257 rooms, which means that guests can already test the possibilities that 5G offers.
Nordic Choice Hotels has engaged with selected guests to report back on infection control measures in their hotels throughout the Nordic region. The assessments will be visible on their website.
The figures for 2020 show that the company has had its turnover reduced by 5.1 billion NOK in 2020 compared with 2019.
Clarion Hotel Helsinki Airport, opened in 2016, has made its mark as one of the most valued and popular hotels in the area surrounding Helsinki airport. Clarion wanted to emphasize the hotel’s location at the heart of Aviapolis in the hotel’s name. Aviapolis is a developing airport city and the hotel is now called Clarion Hotel Aviapolis.
For employees who are in direct contact with hotel guests, it will now become mandatory to wear face masks. This is the latest of a number of infection control measures Nordic Choice Hotels have implemented, to ensure a safe stay for its hotel guests during the Covid 19 outbreak.
Over the past 10 months, there has been intense work on building the new Kämp, which rests on its uniqueness but with the Nordic Choice Hotel's muscles in the back. Central to that work has been Kämp Collection Hotel CEO Laura Tarkka. When Kämp is now fully part of Nordic Choice Hotels, Tarkka chooses to move on as previously agreed.
All 207 hotels are open for guests and visitors as usual, but with special attention for the safety of guests and employees. Due to many media requests, Nordic Choice Hotels will provide a general statement on the situation in the company during the virus outbreak.
Development within the hotel industry is moving faster than ever and the boundaries between the hotel experience and everyday life are becoming blurred. By launching hotel services at home Nordic Choice Hotels are taking a new approach to adding a little more sparkle to everyday life.
The first guests will be able to check in at Comfort Hotel Helsinki Airport in 2023 when the chain opens its first hotel in Finland. The chain’s ambition is quite clear: the chain is to grow considerably in the Nordic region, and Finland is the top priority.
Fredric Landell will take over as new CEO of Petter Stordalen's hotel development company Nordic Property Management. The company is the largest in the Nordic market, working on project management of large hotel and restaurant projects.
Clarion Collection was the first chain acquired by Petter A. Stordalen during the 1990s. The chain was then called Home Hotels, which was subsequently changed to Clarion Collection. Now, Clarion Collection is taking the lead with a unique industry concept using the well-known Scandinavian term “hygge” as a platform.
