Scandic Hotels Group expansion and partnerships

Overview

Scandic Hotels Group has engaged in several strategic moves to expand its market presence. In October 2026, the company entered a multi-year strategic development agreement with Hilton to grow in the Nordic region, specifically targeting Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Norway. This partnership includes plans for a new 284-room Hilton Hotels & Resorts near Copenhagen Airport, scheduled to open in 2029.

By November 2026, Scandic completed a 500 million euro acquisition of Dalata Hotel Group’s hotel operations. This deal added 57 hotels, including the Clayton Hotels and Maldron Hotels brands, to Scandic’s portfolio, strengthening its position in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The acquired operations, which include approximately 12,500 rooms and a pipeline of 1,600 additional rooms, were consolidated into Scandic’s “Other Europe” segment. The transaction was financed through cash, cash equivalents, and loan facilities.

Additionally, the company announced plans to convert an existing office building into a 320-room hotel in Stockholm’s Globen area via a long-term lease with Corem Property Group, expected to open by 2028.

In its third-quarter financial report, Scandic recorded a 7.9 percent increase in revenue to 6,877 million Swedish kronor. Adjusted EBITDA rose to 1,330 million Swedish kronor, with margins increasing from 17 to 19 percent. CEO Jens Mathiesen attributed this growth to high market demand and operational efficiency. The group also noted new hotel agreements in Freiburg, Frankfurt, and Stockholm.
