The hotels are already part of Scandic's pipeline and will open in 2025 in Tromsø, Norway, and in 2026 in Aarhus, Denmark. The two hotels will now be part of the company's Signature Collection that aims to meet the demand from the growing leisure segment. Today, Scandic has five signature hotels in Stockholm, Helsinki, Bergen and Oslo that target global travelers who consider the hotel stay to be the destination, regardless of the purpose of a trip.

Scandic's Signature Collection is a range of lifestyle hotels that have been developed to bring out a hotel's individual character and satisfy travelers for whom the hotel stay and experience are the central part of a trip. They have been designed as social meeting places for locals and travelers alike. Both hotels will offer wellness areas and fitness facilities as well as rooftop bars, meeting rooms and social spaces to enjoy food and drinks.

The hotels will be built with sustainability in focus and the operations of each hotel will be environmentally certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, the official ecolabel in the Nordic countries.
