Scandic Hotels has signed a long-term lease agreement with landlord Projekti GH Oy for two hotels with a total of 459 rooms in the unique Garden Helsinki, a multi-functional event arena in Helsinki, Finland. The agreement includes one Scandic Go hotel with 232 rooms and a 227-room Scandic hotel that are expected to open in 2028. The new hotels will be established in one of Scandic?s key destinations where the company sees growing demand from both corporate and leisure travelers.

When the two hotels open, Scandic will be the exclusive hotel operator at Garden Helsinki, one of Finland's urban development projects that is emerging two kilometers from the heart of the capital. Garden Helsinki will be a unique multi-functional mega event arena in the Töölö district and a destination for sports, entertainment, restaurants, office space and apartments. With proximity to the city center and many attractions in the surrounding area, there is growing demand for hotel nights all year round from both business and leisure travelers.

The new hotels will be environmentally certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, the official ecolabel of the Nordic countries. The landlord will build the hotels with sustainability in focus and the properties will be certified according to LEED or BREEAM, internationally recognized environmental certification systems.
