"It is exciting to be part of Scandic's expansion in the economy segment with a new and attractive lease at Fridhemsplan in Stockholm. We acquired the hotel property earlier this year with a clear vision for its development. The agreement with Scandic shows that we have a unique business model where we, together with strong partners, can create value both in the hotel business and the hotel property", says Liia Nõu, CEO of Pandox.

During 2023 the hotel will continue to be operated under a fixed lease with the current operator. It will then close for renovation and reopen late summer 2024 as a Scandic Go with Scandic as tenant.

Technical investments are an important part of the renovation to enable a BREEAM certification of the hotel property.

Pandox acquired the hotel property in February 2023 under the name Best Western Fridhemsplan.
