Scandic Hotels, a Swedish hotel chain based in Stockholm, a pioneer within sustainability with the majority of its hotels certified with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel requirement unveiled plans to introduce its first Scandic Go hotel in Norway located in Oslo, the capital, economic and governmental centre of the Scandinavian country situated on the southern coast at the head of Oslofjord, a city that is a blend of urban sophistication with outdoor adventures, known for its vibrant cultural scene, stunning architecture, extensive parks, and several top museums, many of them established on the scenic Bygdoy Peninsula.
The future property is a rebranded hotel converting the existing Scandic Grensen hotel, hosted in a contemporary building in the city centre located at Grensen 20, a 2 - minute walk Stoertinget metro station and the shopping street, Karl Johans Gate, a 4 - minute from Oslo Cathedral and just 10 minutes’ walk from Oslo Central Station and not far from the Norwegian Parliament buildings.
The rebranded hotel is set to open in the first half half of 2026 marking the debut of Scandic Go in the Norwegian market and is undergoing a transformation to align with Scandic Go, a budget - friendly, urban hotel brand designed for the economy segment, offering essentials at a lower price point to allow guests to spend more time and money exploring the city.
The hotel will feature 96 comfortable rooms and upon completion will be certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel to ensure minimal environmental impact. This special certification reflects the hotel’s commitment to using labelled products and chemicals, utilizing 100% renewable electricity, reducing water consumption, and minimizing food waste.
The conversion of the hotel is part of Scandic Hotels’ long - term growth strategy, aiming to expand its presence and offering in Norway and the introduction of Scandic Go in Oslo is intended to meet the growing demand for economy accommodations in the city.
