Scandic Hotels, a Swedish hotel chain based in Stockholm, a pioneer within sustainability boasting the majority of its properties certified with the Nordic Ecolabel requirement, revealed the development of its second Scandic Go hotel in Tromsø, famous city located on the island of Trømsoya in the Trømsoysundet strait, just off the mainland Northern Norway, a strategic gateway to discover the stunning islands of Kvaløya and Ringvassøy and the beautiful Lyngenfjord region.
For the development Scandic Hotels entered into a long - term lease agreement with Nordlyskvartalet AS, a firm operates within the Estate Agency activities industry and headquartered in Tromsø.
The development is part of a broader mixed - use project led by Nordlyskvarnet, representing a strategic move by Scandic Hotels to expand its presence in key destinations in the Nordic Region. The Swedish company currently has two hotels in Tromsø and has identified the Norwegian city as a market with growing tourism demand.
This will be the second Scandic Go property in Norway and the third Scandic - branded hotel in Tromsø, joining Scandic Isshavvshotel and the Dock 69°39 by Scandic, which opened recently. Tromsø will become the first location outside of a capital city in Norway where all three Scandic brands are present, in an area that has seen increased tourism and hospitality sector activity in recent years.
Construction is scheduled to begin after summer of 2026 with the hotel expected to open in 2028. The establishment will be located in a new mixed - use development in central Tromsø, that will also include residential housing and municipal services and will provide approximately 170 rooms.
The Property will operate under the Scandic Go brand, a budget - friendly, urban hotel brand designed for the economy segment, offering essentials at a lower price point to allow to spend more time and money exploring the destination.
The establishment will prioritize the use of recycled materials and is planned to be certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, the official environmental certification in the Nordic countries.
Scandic Hotels’s expansion in Tromsø reflects ongoing investment in the Norwegian hospitality sector and continued interest in the region as a relevant travel destination.
