IHG opens a new hotel in Sweden
IHG today announces the signing of Crowne Plaza & Holiday Inn Express Stockholm Arlanda Airport, which will be the company’s first hotel in Sweden after returning to the market.
By entering into a new strategic partnership with the owner company Björnbäckens Fastighets AB, the franchise deal strengthens IHG’s presence in the Nordic markets and underlines the company’s growth ambitions for Sweden and beyond.
The dual-branded property will have a total of 420 rooms – 120 housed in the Crowne Plaza property and 300 rooms in the Holiday Inn Express hotel. It will also have a full-service conference center and gym, as well as a great bar and restaurant where you can enjoy some downtime. Strategically located just outside Sweden’s capital Stockholm, the Nordic region’s largest city, and close to both the country’s busiest airport and the new Scandinavian XPO trade fair, the newly built hotel is ideally situated to cater for both leisure and business travellers.
Crowne Plaza & Holiday Inn Express Stockholm Arlanda Airport will open in 2026 and will be operated by Mogotel Development Holding, a major hotel operator in the Baltics and beyond.
IHG currently has eight hotels operating under three brands in the Nordic countries, including Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo and Holiday Inn. In addition to the newly signed Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Express Stockholm Arlanda Airport, the pipeline for the Nordics also includes two fantastic Six Senses properties: Six Senses Svart in Norway and Six Senses Össurá Valley in Iceland.
