Scandic to open alpine hotel in Sälen
Scandic is continuing to grow in Sweden and has taken possession of a newly built alpine property in Sälen with 120 rooms and 16 apartments as well as conference facilities. The property is in a prime location and will offer guests ski-in, ski-out access as well as a wellness area with a sauna, gym and pool. The hotel is expected to open during the 2027/2028 season.
Scandic has signed a long-term lease agreement with property owner Lima Besparingsskog to establish a hotel in Sälen, one of Scandinavia’s largest ski areas. The new hotel will be strategically located between Tandådalen and Hundfjället, offering easy access to both family-friendly slopes and steeper runs during the winter season. Over the past decade, interest in the snow-free season has also grown, driven by the increasing popularity of activities such as hiking and cycling.
- Scandic already has several successful hotels in the mountains in both Norway and Finland, which is why this is such a fantastic opportunity to open a completely new hotel in the Swedish mountains. We are continuing our expansion journey and look forward to doing it together with Lima Besparingsskog, says Jesper Engman, Senior Vice President Portfolio Development.
- We are very proud to have the opportunity to collaborate with Scandic on this unique hotel project, which we have developed together with the real estate advisor CBRE Sweden. This initiative creates more job opportunities and strengthens Sälen as a popular year-round tourist destination, says Fredrik Eriksson, Property Manager at Lima Besparingsskog.
