Growth through independence and storytelling
Through the years, independent has proven itself as the way to go. Our journey started in 2010 with a small group of remarkable hotels that outgrew the set path of chain hotels. They had to be set free to unleash their potential and personality. Thus, Nordic Hotels & Resorts was born.
Independent hotels demand captivating storytelling. As a product development tool, it is precisely this—exciting ways to tell a story—that creates an emotional response in the guest; how to convey personality and how to create a bond to a brand.
For the last decade, Nordic Hotels & Resorts has both welcomed new members and opened up flagships like Sommerro in Norway, At Six in Stockholm and Villa Copenhagen in Copenhagen. We keep setting the standard for forward-leaning hospitality and we’re only getting started. With a strong ambition of growth, we’ll continue building the Nordics as an exciting destination for travelers and locals alike.
